Abstract:
1. A method for replicating a directory server comprising: collecting information regarding requests made to the directory server by clients; determining a process by which the directory server should be replicated based on the information collected, where the process is determined based on the requests made to the directory server by the clients, as opposed to the requests made just by one of the clients; determining a type of replication as to which the directory server should be replicated based on the information collected, where the type of replication is determined based on the requests made to the directory server by the clients, as opposed to the requests made just by one of the clients; and, replicating a new directory server from the directory server using the process that has been determined, the new directory server having the type of replication that has been determined, such that replicating the new directory server having the type of replication that has been determined and using the process that has been determined results in the new directory server being accessible by the clients, and not just by one of the clients.
