Abstract
A centralized enterprise security and provisioning policy framework is described. Enterprise wide security and provisioning is stored in a hierarchical fashion in a centralized LDAP based Directory server. Each policy and user maps directly to a unique entry in the directory. Policy entries can be created at specific administrative points in the Directory Information Tree instead of having to duplicate these policies as attributes of every user entry in the directory. The policies can be classified into provisioning, authentication, and authorization policies.
