Abstract

See full text

A directory services system includes a resource object, such as an application object for accessing an actual resource associated with the resource object. Rights attributes of the resource object reflects information for controlling rights of a user (or entity) to access the actual resource. The rights attributes may include criteria for distribution. The rights attributes may be used to rapidly, dynamically, remotely, and easily define and control access to available instances of a resource object based on certain criteria, such as organization, membership, etc. A utility (snap-in) module may be relied upon to manage the values of the attribute. Application programming interfaces (executables) in a dynamically linked library may be provided to 'consume' (use) the attributes in the resource objects stored in directory services database.
