public class BLMDirectoryManager

extends BLMComponentManager

Manages operations on identity directories. Identity directories act as containers for users and groups. Each directory has its own attribute schema which defines which attributes may be assigned to subjects within the directory. Use a BLMContextManager to obtain an instance of a BLMDirectoryManager.
