Abstract:
Techniques for directory server integration are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for directory server integration comprising setting one or more parameters determining a range of permissible expiration times for a plurality of cached directory entries, creating, in electronic storage, a cached directory entry from a directory server, assigning a creation time to the cached directory entry, and assigning at least one random value to the cached directory entry, the random value determining an expiration time for the cached directory entry within the range of permissible expiration times, wherein randomizing the expiration time for the cached directory entry among the range of permissible expiration times for a plurality of cached directory entries reduces an amount of synchronization required between cache memory and the directory server at a point in time.
