Abstract
The present invention provides an account management system and method for use within a computer network that allows for automated provisioning, configuration, and maintenance of the servers and other devices connected to a computer network. This account management system and method make use of a master directory structure which is replicated by way of a directory structure replication hub to multiple remote data centers in the form of multiple copies of a directory structure. The directory structure allows access to various customers, who may access information contained only within that particular customer's account. Authentication information for each of the customers is located within the copies of the directory structures contained at each customer data center, and therefore transmitting authentication information is not required.
