Appeal 2007-2116
Application 10/318,000
INTRODUCTION
The claims are directed to an apparatus and method for optimizing the
schema1 definitions of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory. Claim 1 is illustrative:
1. A computer-implemented method of optimizing the performance
of a directory server having an allowable listing of schema definitions that
may be used to access data on the directory server, comprising:
for a first client device, receiving a first client listing of object classes
required by the first client device’s applications;
comparing the first client listing of object classes required to the
allowable listing of schema definitions;
generating a first client listing of schema definitions based on the
comparison of the first client listing of object classes required to the
allowable listing of schema definitions; and
storing the first client listing of schema definitions in association with
an identifier of the client device;
wherein, when a request is received from the first client device, the
first client listing of schema definitions is utilized instead of the allowable
listing of schema definitions.
