This software enables users to verify their identity on the directory service utilized by Mac OS X.
Directory Services Wrapper is a powerful program designed to authenticate users with the directory service utilized by Mac OS X. The Directory Service is utilized not only for user authentication, but for a variety of other purposes as well. This versatile service can be configured to communicate with either an Active Directory installation or a LDAP installation for accessing user information.
The program includes an extensive framework which provides access to the Directory Service's full suite of powerful functionality. Unfortunately, the framework is notoriously low-level and uses some strange naming conventions that can be difficult to navigate. As a result, integrating this functionality into more complex systems can be quite challenging and time-consuming.
However, the powerful features of Directory Services Wrapper make it a valuable tool for a wide variety of purposes. For instance, Searchlight users can easily authenticate through a Ruby on Rails application and receive accurate Spotlight results, thanks to the flexibility of Directory Services Wrapper. Ultimately, despite the challenge of navigating the framework, the program is a valuable resource for any Mac OS X user looking to integrate with the Directory Service.
