Abstract:
1. A method, for updating a lightweight directory access protocol server network, comprising: receiving, at a replication priority queue manager of a replication management system, a plurality of update requests, each of which comprises instructions to replicate certain data from a master lightweight directory access protocol server of the server network to a plurality of slave lightweight directory access protocol servers of the server network; assigning, at the replication priority queue manager, for each of the plurality of update requests, a priority level wherein assigning the priority level for each of the plurality of update requests includes: storing, at the replication priority queue manager, each update request in one of a plurality of ordered storage locations in accordance with a priority last assigned to the update request, wherein: processing, at the replication decision engine, each of the plurality of update requests in order based upon the assigned storage locations; and replicating data identified in each of the plurality of update requests from the master lightweight directory access protocol server to the plurality of slave lightweight directory access protocol servers in order based upon the assigned storage locations.
