Abstract
A lightweight directory access (LDAP) broker receives user information associated with a query for information in an LDAP repository. The query may be in an abstraction format. The LDAP broker determines a computing domain in view of the user information and retrieves a configuration file associated with the computing domain. The configuration file comprises a mapping for the query between an abstraction format and a vendor specific format. The LDAP broker converts the query to the vendor specific format in view of the mapping in the configuration file.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving user information associated with a query for information in a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) repository, the query received in an abstraction format;
- determining a computing domain in view of the user information;
- retrieving, by a processing device, a configuration file associated with the computing domain, the configuration file comprising a mapping for the query between an abstraction format and a vendor specific format;
- and
- converting the query to the vendor specific format in view of the mapping in the configuration file.
A system comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processing device;
- and
- a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) broker, executable by the processing device from the memory, to:
- receive user information associated with a query for information in a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) repository, the query received in an abstraction format;
- determine a computing domain in view of the user information;
- retrieve a configuration file associated with the computing domain, the configuration file comprising a mapping for the query between an abstraction format and a vendor specific format;
- and
- convert the query to the vendor specific format in view of the mapping in the configuration file.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to perform a operations comprising:
- receiving user information associated with a query for information in a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) repository, the query received in an abstraction format;
- determining a computing domain in view of the user information;
- retrieving, by a processing device, a configuration file associated with the computing domain, the configuration file comprising a mapping for the query between an abstraction format and a vendor specific format;
- and
- converting the query to the vendor specific format in view of the mapping in the configuration file.
