A registration method facilitates registration of a plug-in for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server accessible by a client. A generic interface is provided to mediate interaction between the client and the directory server. Information is obtained concerning one or more directory entries of interest to the plug-in. This information is recorded by the generic interface in a registry such that the generic interface is enabled to call at least one method of the plug-in upon receipt of a message from the client concerning at least one respective directory entry of interest. Directory entries of interest may be identified by either their object class or distinguished name (DN). In the latter case, a wildcard syntax may be used to enable the plug-in record an interest in one or more related directory entries. <IMAGE> |
