Abstract
A process for maintaining authentication information in a distributed network of servers generates and maintains a non-local access server list, queries non-local servers using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search request, caches responses to queries from non-local servers, updates the cached directory entries and applies an LDAP operation to the cached directory entries and the local access control data. A variety of techniques are used to update cache information. When a request to authenticate a user with a distinguished name is received, the cached directory entries and the local access control data are searched for the distinguished name and, once the distinguished name is located, the user is authenticated with each server in the non-local access server list.
