International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 3, 707 10, 707101, 709218

Abstract:

A method for mapping a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) interface to a Directory Assistance (DA) system can comprise the following steps. First, LDAP compatible search arguments for searching an LDAP database can be extracted from an LDAP request. Second, the LDAP compatible search arguments can be converted to search arguments compatible with a DA system database. Third, the DA system database can be queried using the converted search arguments. Fourth, a result set of listings from the DA system database can be received in response to the query. Finally, the result set can be converted to a result set compatible with LDAP. Preferably, each of the five steps can be performed in a plug-in to the LDAP server. Additionally, the method can include the step of receiving the LDAP request from an LDAP client. Moreover, the method can include the step of receiving the LDAP request in an LDAP server.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 9, 707 1

Abstract:

A method and system for providing access control using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The method can include a series of steps which can include receiving from a user an LDAP operation directed to an LDAP search engine. The method can include associating the user with an access control group and reformatting the LDAP operation based on the access control group. Additionally, the step of providing the reformatted LDAP operation to the LDAP search engine can be included.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

39520009

Abstract:

A networked computer system for storing and presenting multimedia data distributes that data among multiple storage devices of the system. The system includes a plurality of computers, each of which supports at least one viewing station. Each viewing station has access to any file on any of the storage devices and can retrieve and display any file on demand. To provide an efficient system and, at the same time, reduce the probability that the viewing of multimedia data may be interrupted, the system allocates resources, prioritizes access to files, and buffers data prior to the data's delivery to video adapters.
