Abstract
Information to link two attributes in a database is stored, and when one of the attributes is updated, a new value for the second attribute is computed and stored. Related systems and applications are also described.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to change a first attribute of an entry stored in a database to a first value, wherein the database is accessible via a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol;
- identifying a second attribute and a third attribute of the entry stored in the database, the second attribute being a different attribute type than the first attribute and the third attribute comprising information linking the first attribute and the second attribute;
- changing the first attribute to the first value;
- identifying, by a processor in view of the third attribute, an operation to be performed with respect to the first value of the first attribute to determine a second value for the second attribute;
- determining the second value for the second attribute by performing the identified operation;
- and
- storing the second value to the second attribute;
- wherein the first value of the first attribute is a password encoded by a first encryption and the second value of the second attribute is the password encoded by a second encryption.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a processor to:
- receive a request to modify a first attribute of an entry stored in a database to a first value, wherein the database is accessible via a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol;
- identify a second attribute and a third attribute of the entry stored in the database, the second attribute being a different attribute type than the first attribute and the third attribute comprising information linking the first attribute and the second attribute;
- change the first attribute to the first value;
- identify, by the processor in view of the third attribute, an operation to be performed with respect to the first value of the first attribute to determine a second value for the second attribute;
- determine the second value for the second attribute by performing the identified operation;
- and
- store the second value to the second attribute;
- wherein the first value of the first attribute is a password encoded by a first encryption and the second value of the second attribute is the password encoded by a second encryption.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor to:
- receive a request to modify a first attribute of an entry stored in a database to a first value, wherein the database is accessible via a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol;
- identify a second attribute and a third attribute of the entry stored in the database, the second attribute being of a different attribute type that the first attribute and the third attribute comprising information linking the first attribute and the second attribute;
- change the first attribute to the first value;
- identify, in view of the third attribute, an operation to be performed with respect to the first value of the first attribute to determine a second value for the second attribute;
- determine the second value of the second attribute by performing the identified operation;
- and
- store the second value to the second attribute;
- wherein the first value of the first attribute is a password encoded by a first encryption and the second value of the second attribute is the password encoded by a second encryption.
