Abstract
A method and apparatus for the administration of a user registry in a distributed computing environment (DCE). User administration is achieved by encapsulating the DCE principal, extended registry attributes, and account entities into a single object called an account object. The single account object is a subclass of an abstract object called the registry object, which in turn is a subclass of the DCE extended registry attribute object. The invention provides a single object to which requests are made, thus providing a simplified user interface for accessing the contents of the object-oriented account object.
