ABSTRACT:
A directory server handles requests for values of dynamic attributes by providing at least one declaration for an attribute to be handled as a real-time attribute associated with but external to a directory structure; receiving a directory access protocol request for access to an attribute value from the associated directory structure; detecting requested access to an attribute declared as a real-time external attribute; resolving a real-time value by obtaining an attribute value from a real-time source external to the directory structure; converting the obtained attribute value from a real-time attribute to a static attribute, wherein the real-time attribute is incompatible with the directory access protocol, and wherein the static attribute is compatible with the directory access protocol; and returning to a requester the converted real-time attribute directly in the directory access protocol, wherein storing and updating of the converted real-time attribute value in the directory structure is eliminated or avoided.
