Abstract:
1. A method, in a computer system, for mapping an X500 data model comprising at least one entry ( 7 ), at least one object class, and a directory information tree, DIT ( 6 ), an entry ( 7 ) comprising at least one attribute ( 8 ), an attribute ( 8 ) comprising a type ( 9 ) and a value ( 10 ), said entry ( 7 ) gathering information about one object, an object class being a model defining the types of said attributes ( 8 ) present in the entry ( 7 ) that describes said object, the vertices in said DIT ( 6 ), being entries ( 7 ), each entry ( 7 ) comprising a distinguished name, DN, comprising the DN of said parent's entry in said DIT ( 6 ) together with a relative distinguished name, RDN, comprising one specially nominated attribute ( 8 ) proper to said entry ( 7 ), onto a relational database, RDB, comprising relational tables ( 11 ), each table ( 11 ) comprising several named columns ( 14 ), some of these columns being primary key, that is containing value that uniquely identify object data, where object data is stored in row ( 15 ), characterized in that it comprises the steps of: building object classes, each comprising a list of its attributes ( building attributes ( building a static directory information tree, SDIT, comprising only static DN (SDN) that is DN comprising only static RDN, defined as RDN with any variable value removed,
