System and method for accessing directory service via an HTTP URL

摘要

Information is retrieved from a directory service via a Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) Universal Resource Locator (URL) query string which is parsed by a diverting module. The diverting module parses the HTTP URL query string into a plurality of portions. The diverting module constructs a directory service compatible query from the plurality of portions and requests information from the directory service with the directory service compatible query.
