Due to architectural changes made in Directory Server 5.2, some features that were available in
Directory Server 4.x are no longer included. These are:
• Database Backend Plug-in Interface. The enhanced pre-operation interfaces may be used
instead of the database backend plug-in interface, to implement plug-ins that are designed
to provide access to alternative directory data stores.
• In addition, the distribution plug-in architecture and functionality will change substantially
in a future release of Directory Server.
