Abstract

See full text

A method for use with a data management system (DMS) enabling a directory service such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft's Active Directory to interact with centralized DMS employs a single access application at a user API interface at one or more application layers of the data management system to map transactions for access appropriate to a heterogeneous physical implementation of data storage managed by a virtual control repository used in the DMS. Data objects are classified according to a PFVL Paradigm according to Package, Filetype, Variance and Level as a model for storage of data object in separate DMS storage and directory service storage. Objects in the directory service storage are managed to direct a request in a manner appropriate to the request to a directory service server or if not appropriate to the directory service, to one or more DMS processing managers.
