1. A method of storing client device profiles on a server, said method comprising:
- accessing information that identifies properties of a wireless client device, wherein said information is received in Extensible Markup Language (XML) form;
creating a node for said wireless client device in a software directory resident on said server; and
storing said information identifying properties of said wireless client device as attributes of said node in said software directory, wherein said information for said wireless client device is stored in other than said XML form.

Abstract
Methods and systems thereof for storing, reading and writing wireless client device profiles are described. A node is created for each device and the properties of the client devices are stored as attributes of a respective node. By storing the profiles in this manner, the reading of a device property reduces to fetching an attribute of the appropriate node, and the writing of a device property is reduced to modifying an attribute of the appropriate node. Parsing and validation of device profiles are eliminated, improving performance. Moreover, the profiles are managed by a user-friendly interface.
