After reading a little about augmented records, they sound like the
best
thing since sliced bread. Being able to extend other directory
services
without having to modify existing schema (a la Active Directory) is
a great
idea.
It is and it isn't.
While giving you a large amount of increased flexibility, it still
doesn't address the need to have two disparate directory systems which
typically prevents scaling.
On the whole I wouldn't say this fundamentally changes things from the
magic triangle of yore. Instead it's more evolutionary than
revolutionary.
The aspect that most interests me is the ability to have ad-hoc
directory services just to provide the specific schema that you need,
for the iCal server in this case, but not tie the clients into that ad-
hoc directory. To further the iCal server example, you'd either set
this up on one specific iCal server, or create an OD domain to support
your clustered iCal servers. In either case the client systems, the
ones actually running iCal.app, wouldn't have to have any knowledge of
the ad-hoc setup.
