ABSTRACT:
A directory services system includes resource objects, such as an application object for accessing a resource associated with the resource object. Foldering attributes may be provided or added to an existing or new, specialized resource object. Foldering attributes reflect correspondence of the actual resources to an organizational scheme. The foldering attributes may include not only linking and backlink information, but management data for multiple levels of linking and organization, all stored in a Network Directory Services resource object. A resource, via its resource object in the directory services database, may be easily assigned to an organizational position for an individual user, a group, container, or the like. A snap-in module may be created, having executables as one or more Application Programming Interfaces (API's) in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) for consuming (using) the foldering attributes. A utility may be provided in the Directory Services Systems' Administration module, or as on of such modules, to create and manage the foldering attributes. In certain embodiments attributes may be in objects requiring no methods embedded therein. In other embodiments methods in resource objects may contain additional executables or even obviate API's in the DLL.
