Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with enabling client-side enforcement of custom rules when the client is in offline mode include: creating a custom rule for enforcement on a mobile application client on a mobile application server; defining characteristics of user accounts for which the mobile application client is to enforce the custom rule; in response to a connection being established between an instance of the mobile application client for a specific user account and the mobile application server, determining that the instance of the mobile application client should enforce the custom rule based at least in part on a match between characteristics of the specific user account and the defined characteristics; and transmitting the custom rule to the instance of the mobile application client to enable the instance to enforce the custom rule when the instance is operating in the offline mode.

A method is disclosed in which a server generates and transmits a reply to a mobile device via a wireless communication link in response to receiving a request from a mobile device. The reply includes first pattern information and data elements retrieved from a logical data model. The mobile device renders a first page on a screen thereof in response to receiving the reply. The first page includes visual representations of the data elements, and the first page presents the visual representations in a first pattern corresponding to the first pattern information.

Method and system for providing pattern based enterprise applications for organizing, automating, and synchronizing processes for mobile communication devices

A computer receives a schema that lacks information required by a directory access protocol (e.g. LDAP) and automatically generates information that conforms to the directory access protocol and supplies the generated information as output in a new schema. Such automatic schema transformation allows a human who is creating the schema, to enable usage of the directory access protocol to interface with a directory implementing the schema, without knowing the directory access protocol. The computer of some embodiments receives the schema being input, in a predetermined human-readable language (e.g. XML). Hence, an XML developer who lacks knowledge of LDAP can use traditional XML tools to prepare an LDAP-incompatible schema, for use in implementing a directory (e.g. address book) that is accessed by an LDAP client (e.g. cell phone) via an LDAP server. The new schema can be output in any form (e.g. text/binary) and in any language.

A method, system, and article of manufacture for querying an implicit hierarchy is disclosed. According to one approach, implicit hierarchies can be queried by accessing the relevant catalog tables for the attribute relevant to the query. Each identified entry in the relevant catalog table is followed through its implied hierarchical chains until all relevant entries have been identified. The catalog table containing the normalized form of the DN for each user can be consulted to identify the entry identifier for each entry corresponding to implicit hierarchy being queried, which can be searched in the appropriate catalog table to search the chain of entries for the implied hierarchy. In an approach, one or more templates may be used to generate a query language statement to perform the query upon the implicit hierarchy.

A system, method, computer program and article of manufacture for membership list management is described. A rules-based membership list is built and cached. Any modifications to the member objects are incrementally added to the cache, and are submitted to a change log. Queries access the membership in the cache instead of having to execute the rules to build the list. The change log entries allow membership modification notifications to be sent to any subscribing application.

System for change notification and persistent caching of dynamically computed membership of rules-based lists in LDAP

Embodiments of the invention provide a trust framework for governing service-to-service interactions. This trust framework can provide enhanced security and/or manageability over prior systems. Merely by way of example, in some cases, an information store can be used to store information security information (such as trust information, credentials, etc.) for a variety of services across an enterprise. In other cases, the trust framework can provide authentication policies to define and/or control authentication between services (such as, for example, types of authentication credentials and/or protocols are required to access a particular service&#x2014;either as a user and/or as another service&#x2014;and/or types of authentication credentials and/or protocols a service may be enabled to use to access another service). Alternatively and/or additionally, the trust framework can provide authorization policies to define and/or control authorization between services.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that allows secure deployment delegation and management of applications in a distributed-computing infrastructure. During operation, the system assigns a deployment-role to a user, which enables the user to deploy an application in the distributed-computing infrastructure. Moreover, by assigning the deployment-role to the user, the system also delegates the privilege to assign a run-time-role to the application. Note that the set of run-time roles a user is allowed to assign (or grant) can depend on the deployment role that has been assigned to the user. Furthermore, assigning the run-time-role to the application grants permission to the application to access a resource in the shared infrastructure, which allows the application to operate properly. Furthermore, note that by delegating to users the privilege of assigning roles to applications simplifies the secure deployment and management of applications in the distributed-computing infrastructure.
