AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS FOR DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT USERS

A controller is configured to perform various steps including receiving a plurality of user identification values. Another step includes determining a first range of the plurality of user identification values, the first range including a first minimum user identification value and a first maximum user identification value. Another step includes assigning a first user identification value to a first user from the first range of the plurality of user identification values to a first user based on the first minimum and maximum user identification values. Another step includes determining a second user identification value from the first range of the plurality of user identification values by incrementing the first user identification value based on the first minimum and maximum identification values. Yet another step includes assigning the second user identification value to a second user.
