Abstract
A network cache is automatically configured so that the network cache is able to communicate with a database to authenticate a user. A user ID is received as input and is used to query a database for objects having the user ID. The user object corresponding to the user ID is selected and the attributes within the user object are output to a user interface. The attribute name corresponding to the user ID is selected. Attribute names corresponding to group IDs in the user object are selected. If other forms of group membership exist, a non-parent object is retrieved and the attribute name corresponding to the group ID in the object is selected. Once each attribute name is selected the attribute name is stored in a configuration file in the network cache.
