s/DC/LDAP server/ Indeed, the hope is that we can handle the DC part well, and have a number of vendors provide compatible backends, accessible (by our code) over LDAP. However, I expect we will (by necessity) become a general LDAP server, and a fairly good one at that. Probably not a standards-compliant one (we will have to match MS instead), but adding other (non-conflicting) attributes and values will certainly not present a major challenge.
