    Patent number: 5983234
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generically viewing and editing values and attributes of distributed directory objects is disclosed. A data structure is adapted to represent one or more attributes and associated values of a target object in a distributed directory. A user interface receives inputs from a human user and displays at least a portion of the data structure, irrespective of the target object type. One or more syntax editors receives inputs from a human user and modify the data structure. Each of the one or more syntax editors correspond to at least one attribute syntax in the distributed directory. A mechanism modifies the target object in the distributed directory to include modifications made to the data structure with the attribute editors.
