20100070545LIGHTWEIGHT 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. Responsive to an operation request being sent from a requesting application to the set of directory servers and an administrative maintenance control mechanism being active, an administrative maintenance control is automatically sent to the set of directory servers. Responsive to receiving the response to the administrative maintenance control, an end user application within the data processing system is notified that the at least one of the administrative maintenance tasks or the potential issues have been received.03-18-2010
20110153563ENHANCED REPLICATION OF DATABASES - A server for replicating a database update operation. Responsive to an update request received at an supplier server that affects more than one database entry at the supplier server, a single replication request is built that contains an expression identifying the affected database entries to be replicated and the respective values of the entries to be replicated. The single replication request is transmitted to the consumer server.06-23-2011
20110153717CLIENT MESSAGE DISTRIBUTION IN A DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY BASED ON LANGUAGE AND CHARACTER SETS - A proxy server distributes client messages to backend servers based on language. An incoming client message to the proxy server specifies a language to use for queries and other transactions with the backend servers. The proxy server determines a backend server that supports the language and transmits the client message to that backend server. A client message might specify a character set as well for interacting with the backend servers that support languages under a given character set.06-23-2011
20110161238ASSESSMENT OF SKILLS OF A USER - A method, operable on a processing device, for assessment of skills of a user may include receiving, by the processing device, an error message reporting an error associated with the user. The method may also include determining, by the processing device, a categorization of the error. Determining the categorization of the error may include assigning one of a plurality of predetermined skill ratings to the user. Each predetermined skill rating may be associated with a predefined condition. The method may additionally include generating, by the processing device, a report for assessment of the skills of the user. The report may include an identification of the user, the error, identification of a system if a system associated error, identification of a product if a product associated error, the categorization of the error and the predetermined skill rating assigned to the user.06-30-2011

20090313468CERTIFICATE RENEWAL USING SECURE HANDSHAKE - A method, system, and computer usable program product for certificate renewal using a secure handshake are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A determination is made, forming an expiration determination, whether a validity period associated with a certificate ends within a predetermined period from a time of receiving the certificate. If the expiration determination is true, a holder of the certificate is notified about the expiration. The holder may be an application executing in a data processing system or the data processing system itself. A new certificate is requested on behalf of the holder. The requested new certificate is received. The new certificate is sent to the holder of the certificate over a network.12-17-2009
20090327708CERTIFICATE DISTRIBUTION USING SECURE HANDSHAKE - A method, system, and computer usable program product for certificate distribution using a secure handshake are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A client sends an indication in a request, the request being a part of a secure data communication with a server. The indication indicates an ability of the client to accept a certificate as a part of a response from the server. The server retrieves a new certificate. The server sends as a result of the indication, a new certificate in the response corresponding to the request. The client receives as a result of the indication, the new certificate in a response that corresponds to the request. The client separates the new certificate from the response and uses the new certificate in the secure data communication with the server. The server uses the new certificate in the secure data communication with the client.12-31-2009
