| 20090019514 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENFORCING PASSWORD POLICY IN A DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY - The invention describes techniques for enforcing password policy within a distributed directory environment that includes one or more distributed directory servers and a proxy server that acts as an intermediate agent between a client and the distributed directory environment. In one aspect, the proxy server is enhanced to support the passing (from the backend server to the client) of password policy controls. In particular, controls returned from a backend server are parsed and cached (for re-use) for the life of a given client connection. According to another aspect, the proxy server ensures that all compare operations for a single user's password are directed to the same backend server in the distributed directory environment. This insures that a user's most current password is used, and that failed operation counts, resets and operational attributes are up-to-date. According to still another aspect, the proxy server enforces password policy on bind plug-ins and, in particular, through a pair of pre-bind and post-bind extended operations. In particular, pre-bind processing includes checking if an account is locked. Post-bind processing includes checking for expired passwords, grace logins and updating failed/successful bind counters. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090019533 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENFORCING PASSWORD POLICY FOR AN EXTERNAL BIND OPERATION IN A DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY - The invention describes techniques for enforcing password policy within a distributed directory environment that includes one or more distributed directory servers and a proxy server that acts as an intermediate agent between a client and the distributed directory environment.

| 20090178105 | REDUCING OVERHEAD ASSOCIATED WITH DISTRIBUTED PASSWORD POLICY ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS - A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for reducing the overhead associated with distributed password policy enforcement operations using a proxy server. when a proxy server provides a request from a client to a backend directory server, the proxy server determines whether a password policy check is required to be performed at the backend directory server. If a password policy check is not required to be performed at the backend directory server, the proxy server sends the client request together with a skip password policy control to the backend directory server. This skip password policy control informs the backend directory server to skip the password policy check on the client request. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090178106 | PASSWORD POLICY ENFORCEMENT IN A DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY WHEN POLICY INFORMATION IS DISTRIBUTED - A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for password policy enforcement in a distributed directory when policy information is distributed. When a proxy server is providing a request from a client to a backend directory server, the proxy server performs a series of LDAP operations on a targeted set of backend directory servers to collect password policy information applicable to a target user. The password policy information applicable to the target user is partitioned and distributed across the plurality of backend directory servers. When the password policy information for the target user has been collected, the proxy server evaluates the collected password policy information to determine an effective password policy for the target user. The proxy server then sends the request and subsequent requests with the effective password policy to a backend directory server. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100070545 | LIGHTWEIGHT DIRECTORY ACCESS PROTOCOL (LDAP) ADMINISTRATOR TASK NOTIFICATION CONTROL - The illustrative embodiments provide for automatically and proactively retrieving administrative maintenance tasks or potential issues from a set of directory servers without direct intervention from an administrator.

The third entry is saved such that during a restore of the entry the third entry provides the information to restore the entry and the reference to the entry. The third entry may include a set of attributes that store an identifier of the second entry. The entry is restored from the third entry and made available in the directory. A reference is recreated in the second entry to the restored entry forming a restored second entry. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100275059 | PRESERVING REFERENCES TO DELETED DIRECTORY ENTRIES - A method, system, and computer usable program product for preserving references to deleted directory entries are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An instruction to delete an entry is received. A second entry referencing the entry is identified. The second entry is marked as a ghost reference to the entry. The entry is converted to a deleted entry. A ghost attribute with a value of “false” may be added to the entry. A ghost attribute or tag with a value of “false” may be added to the second entry. The ghost tag may correspond to an attribute of the second entry that references the entry. An entry may be deleted by setting a value of a ghost attribute in the entry to true. The second entry may be marked as the ghost reference by setting a value of a ghost attribute or a ghost tag in the second entry to true. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20090307643 | VECTOR SEQUENCE SIMPLIFICATION FOR CIRCUIT VERIFICATION - One set of illegal vector sequences is manually generated for a circuit design and a symbolic simulator is used to automatically generate another set of illegal vector sequences for the circuit design. For verification purposes, the relationship between the manually generated set and the automatically generated set is determined. Prior to determining this relationship, one or both of the sets are simplified. One simplification technique includes replacing pairs of illegal vector sequences that are the same except at one bit position with a more general illegal vector sequence representative of both illegal vector sequences of the pair. Another simplification technique includes sorting the illegal vector sequences in a list having a sort order from most general to most specific and then identifying illegal vector sequences that are redundant in view of one or more other illegal vector sequences prior in the sort order based on a binary decision diagram (BDD)-based analysis that sequences through the sorted list in its sort order. | 12-10-2009 |
