A friend asked...
Hi,
A friend who knows more about LDAP than me asked;
"Active Directory and Unix [no clarification given] uses different schemas for
user management. Will the Apache Directory project address this issue, and
somehow unify them into a single view?"
My assumption was; Yes.
No I am curious; How? and What will be needed for that to happen?
Cheers
Niclas

Yeah Mark is totally right.
Let me add to that by saying eventually we can get to a point where Eve
can behave like any flavor or proxy other servers presenting them as
another other flavor. These are all part of the view services we
eventually would like to see. We have the infrastructure in place with
interceptors and JNDI protocol handlers for proxies but have not started
building on it just yet.
Hope that answers the question.

LDAP views like this aren't supported yet. It's being worked on.
Cheers.
