Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a hierarchical view from a directory attribute stored in a directory. In one embodiment, a user request is received to query a directory attribute of a directory service. One or more search requests are issued against a directory service according to a protocol, where each search request specifies: (i) the directory attribute, (ii) a search key, and (iii) a maximum count of result entries to be returned by the directory service for the respective search request. The hierarchical view may be generated from result entries retrieved responsive to the one or more search requests.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating virtual views may provide for identifying a first position in a first list based on a view selection such as a drag of a scroll bar. A plurality of remaining positions may be identified in a corresponding plurality of remaining lists based on the first position. In one example, the first position is used as a key to search each of the plurality of remaining lists. Solutions may also provide for generating a merged list view based on the first position and the plurality of remaining positions.

Abstract: Application execution contexts within an untrusted computer system are classified as trusted or untrusted based on respective names assigned to the execution contexts. If an application runs in an untrusted execution context, an operating system within the untrusted computer system prevents the application from initiating a connection with a trusted computer system and accessing sensitive parts of the untrusted computer system. If the application runs in a trusted execution context, the operating system permits the application to initiate a connection with the trusted computer system.
