CA 2182791

A method and apparatus for providing access control to objects in a distributed network directory employing static resolution to resolve object attributes. A first object has a Security Equals attribute and a second object has an Equivalent To Me attributes. Upon receiving a request for the first object to access the second object, authorization of such access is verified by checking if the two attributes are synchronized. The attributes are synchronized when the Security Equals attribute of the first object includes the second object, and the Equivalent To Me attribute of the second object includes the first object. A method of synchronizing the two attributes is also disclosed.

Méthode et système permettant d'assurer un contrôle d'accès pour les objets d'un répertoire de réseau réparti, en utilisant la résolution statique pour déterminer la valeur des attributs d'objets. Un premier objet est doté d'un attribut Equivalents de Securité (Security Equals) et un second objet est doté d'un attribut Homologues (Equivalent to Me). Lorsqu'une demande d'objet du premier objet au second objet est reçue, on contrôle l'autorisation d'accès en vérifiant si les deux attributs sont synchronisés. Ils le sont lorsque l'attribut Security Equals du premier objet inclut le second objet, et lorsque l'attribut Equivalent to Me du second objet inclut le premier objet. Une méthode applicable à la synchronisation des deux attributs est également décrite dans l'invention.
