  1. Middleware: Directories Groups related work Dr. Tom Barton The University of Memphis

  2. Why do groups? • Leverage existing enterprise directory infrastructure to: • Supply data for access control policies to directory integrated applications and service platforms. • Supply data for customization processes, especially CMSs and portals. • Facilitate group messaging. Middleware: Directories

  3. Practices in Directory Groups:Why read it? • Avoid excessive wheel re-invention & toe stubbing: • lessons learned • examples of good & bad practices • Pick up common terminology and conceptual framework. • Provoke thought. • Potential & alternative solutions Middleware: Directories

  4. Design factors for a groups implementation • How the group information is to be maintained • How it is to be most commonly accessed • How potential interactions arise between the type of representation, the nature of the group (eg, size and privacy requirements), and capabilities of the particular directory service agent being used Middleware: Directories

  5. Selected contents • Delegating management • Referential integrity • Personal groups • Privacy & visibility • Group math • Forward referencing • Aging • Namespace issues • Application examples Middleware: Directories
