Perform operations on file repositories located in different authentication domains using REST (Representational State Transfer) compliant clients

摘要

The initial server located in the initial authentication domain receives the requested operation from the RESTful client system and generates a redirection list having entries indicating servers located in the authentication domain other than the initial domain. The initial server sends the redirection list to the client system. The redirection list may instruct the client system to execute a command to each of the servers indicated in the redirection list and may optionally be sent with partial results from the initial server. The client system verifies that the partial results in the response from the servers in the other authentication domains and from the initial server are of the appropriate result type and number, then all partial results received from all authentication domains Are aggregated into a single final result, which may be displayed to the user of the client system.
