ABSTRACT:
A system and method for synchronizing network directories. The first network directory is affiliated with a first application having entries native to the first application and the second network directory is affiliated with a second application and having entries native to the second application. An entry native to the first application is non-native to the second application and an entry native to the second application is non-native to the first application. According to one embodiment, the system includes an entry sorting module for sorting entries of the first and second directories based on the native application of the entry and a synchronization module in communication with the entry sorting module for updating entries in at least one of the first and second directories based on whether an entry native to the first application resides in the first directory.
