ABSTRACT:
A system for, and method of, automatically retrieving a directory object from a database and a directory server incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a request reception module that receives a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) request for an attribute of the directory object that is expressed in a proprietary format and (2) a request fulfillment module, associated with the request reception module. If the directory object contains the attribute expressed in the proprietary format, the request fulfillment module retrieves the attribute expressed in the proprietary format from the database. If the directory object does not contain the attribute expressed in the proprietary format, the request fulfillment module retrieves the attribute expressed in a standard format from the database and recasts the attribute expressed in the standard format as the attribute expressed in the proprietary format.
