Directory service user exportation system

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for exporting user accounts and associated information from a directory service for a local computing environment to the authentication service of a remote computing environment. A list of user accounts including usernames and other associated data is selected after querying the directory service. The selection of user accounts is then analyzed to make sure that a minimum set of data has been selected. Subsequently, the user account data is written to file, which can then be either programmatically uploaded or manually uploaded. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, user account information may be directly exported to an authentication service through a network connection without the intermediate step of first writing the data to file.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, comprising:
code that obtains a selection of a local user account and a data item associated with the local user account stored in a directory service, wherein the local user account and the data item associated with the local user account are stored in a hierarchical manner and the directory service complies with at least one version of a directory access protocol; code that analyzes the selected data item associated with the local user account to verify that a predefined set of data items associated with the local user account has been selected; code that permits an assignment of another selection of a remote computing environment permission to the local user account; code that writes the selection of the local user account and the at least one data item associated with the local user account and the assignment to a file stored in a memory of the at least one computing device; and code that uploads the file to a predefined authentication service executing on a remote server associated with a remote computing environment through a network connection, wherein the file directs the predefined authentication service to create a plurality of additional remote user accounts, wherein the additional remote user accounts are associated with the at least one selection of the data item in the file.
