Abstract
A directory service has a number of databases and a processing system with a number of processors. A first processor receives requests and passes them to one of a number of other processors to access one of the databases. The service has a firewall and a monitor outside the firewall for randomly generating names to access the database. A configuration manager communicates with applications in the database and processors and with a directory to cause applications to reconfigure in response to certain events.
