ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for performing a sorted search in a distributed directory environment using a proxy server. A sorted search request for a set of top entries is sent to each backend server. The proxy server identifies a target server which returned a top entry in the set and sends another sorted search request to the target server for all entries having a sort order higher than or equal to the top entry and a sort order lower than or equal to the next top entry of the set, and returns the entries to a requesting client. The proxy server sends another sorted search request to the target server for a new top entry having a sort order greater than the next top entry and adds the new top entry to the set. The proxy server returns to the evaluating step until no top entries remain in the set.
