Write-access control system

A method and system is provided so that requests to a first application (e.g., an LDAP directory) are routed to a second application, the second application being trusted by the first application. The second application validates the requests and sends the request to the first software application when the first application is available. Requests may be queued for processing until the first application is available so that the requests remain pending. A reply may be sent to the requester indicating the results of the request. The second software application processes authentication and validation of the request thereby relieving the first application of this function. Since the second application is a trusted application, the request to the first application may be applied with improved efficiencies increasing the overall performance of the first software application.
