A LDAP request for accessing a service is received from the LDAP client, and the requested service is identified from the LDAP request. One or more back-ends are scheduled to provide service according to a rule predefined for the requested service, which rule indicating which back-end(s) are to be used for the requested service. The scheduled back-end(s) are queried with respective back-end requests according to the rule to obtain back-end responses.
