24 Chapter 1 Directory Service Concepts

If you wanted some users to be able to log in to any computer, you could create their

user records in another shared directory domain that all computers can access.

Shared Data in Existing Directory Domains

Some organizations—such as universities and worldwide corporations—maintain user

information and other administrative data in directory domains on UNIX or Windows

servers. Open Directory can be configured to search these non-Apple domains as well

as shared Open Directory domains of Mac OS X Server systems.
