It is definitely possible using ApacheDS, but you have implement your extension using ApacheDS interceptor. What you mentioned is a well known concept called virtual directory. If you have the resources to implement this, I would recommend that you do implement it. That would be a great addition to ApacheDS. If you don't want to write the code yourself, you can try to google it to see if there is an open source virtual directory implementation out there.

Also, thanks to the flexibility of the design I was able I'm interested in how easy/difficult this was. We're looking at a project which would present an LDAP interface to an SQL database backend. Without getting into too much detail, the idea is that we want to present an LDAP interface to an SQL database backend that contains identity information. The LDAP interface will allow authorized admins to update information on identities they are responsible for with familiar tools, while the SQL backend is desirable for updating from our authoritative source. I've been looking at writing a backend for OpenLDAP, but upon seeing your message, ApacheDS might be a better alternative. Thanks, ERic -- Eric J.
