Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: creating a global user record in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (“LDAP”) database which is accessed and updated by a server, the global user record of a type responsive to an LDAP search for a posixAccount record; instantiating and populating a zone user record with data wherein the zone user record's type is chosen so that it is associatable with the global user record; associating the zone user record with the global user record in the LDAP database, the zone user record of a type unresponsive to an LDAP search for a posixAccount record; and augmenting the zone user record of the type unresponsive to an LDAP search for a posixAccount record to cause it to become responsive to an LDAP search for a posixAccount record by a dynamically linked posixAccount or a derived class thereof, wherein the dynamically linked posixAccount or a derived class thereof permits the zone user record to appear to be a record of type posixAccount thereby becoming responsive to the LDAP search for a posixAccount.
