Abstract:

In computing, a directory service or name service maps the names of network resources to their respective network addresses.

It is a shared information infrastructure for locating, managing, administering and organizing everyday items and network resources, which can include volumes, folders, files, printers, users, groups, devices, telephone numbers and other objects.

A directory service is a critical component of a network operating system. A directory server or name server is a server which provides such a service. Each resource on the network is considered an object by the directory server. Information about a particular resource is stored as a collection of attributes associated with that resource or object.

A directory service defines a namespace for the network. The namespace is used to assign a name (unique identifier) to each of the objects. Directories typically have a set of rules determining how network resources are named and identified, which usually includes a requirement that the identifiers be unique and unambiguous.

When using a directory service, a user does not have to remember the physical address of a network resource; providing a name locates the resource. Some directory services include access control provisions, limiting the availability of directory information to authorized users.

Directory Management System (DMS) This project divided into two modules:
1.User Module
2.Admin Module.


User Module:
• User can Search for the record by name and phone number.

Admin Module:
• Admin can create a directory.
• Manage the directory (update the record, make the record public and private).
• Admin dashboard.
• Admin Search.
• Records by status (public and private).
• Admin can manage own profile.
