Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG06F 017/30AbstractA system and method for providing multiscript aliasing of, and access to name entries in a directory information tree (DIT) stored in one or more Directory Service Agent (DSA) servers, such as in a distributed DIT. Where DIT original entry objects are expressed in a first script, the system provides aliases of the entry objects names in at least one alternative script. An alias object is generated using the alternative-script version of the entry, and is provided with a pointer to the original entry object. A request such as a search or look-up using the alias object, i.e. using the name as expressed in the alternative script, will be reformulated into a request using the original entry object, i.e. using the name as expressed in the original script. Another pointer is provided from the original entry object back to each such alias object. When the original entry object is to be deleted, the system first searches for all aliases of the entry object, by using the pointer(s). The alias objects are deleted first, followed by a deletion of the original entry object. The system for generating the aliases and pointers may be implemented as a Directory User Agent (DUA) application resident in an end user's work station or computer, while the DIT management application is stored in the servers. Alternatively, the system may be implemented as an application stored in the servers, with the user station(s) storing software capable of initiating the necessary operations.Other References
