Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing virtual Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) attribute subtypes based on metadata associated with a relevant data type. In one embodiment, a computer system receives a request that specifies an LDAP attribute. The computer system identifies metadata corresponding to a data type of the LDAP attribute and identifies, based on the metadata, an attribute subtype of the LDAP attribute.
