Abstract

A method and apparatus for integrating Sudo rules into a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) repository. An LDAP directory server receives a request to add a sudo rule to the LDAP repository. The sudo rule defines at least one sudo command and one or more entities associated with the execution of the sudo command. The LDAP directory server creates an LDAP entry for the sudo rule, and links in the LDAP entry of the sudo rule an LDAP entry of the sudo command and LDAP entries of the entities associated with the execution of the sudo command.
