The methods, systems, and data structures are taught for federating disparate calendaring systems into composite calendaring systems and composite calendars.

The composite calendaring system tracks and presents selective information within a composite calendar.

Methods, systems, and data structures for federating electronic calendars

A computer receives a request for authentication from a client. The computer forwards the authentication request to an authentication source. Once the authentication source has validated the authentication request, the computer requests authentication and cache control information from the authentication source. The computer uses the authentication and cache control information to populate a user object stored in a container hierarchy and enable the computer to authenticate an authentication request without forwarding the authentication request to the authentication source.
