Authenticate users, and search for contact information in Open Directory and LDAP directories

Authenticate users, and search for contact information in Open Directory and LDAP directories. Directory services provide a centralized way for applications and services to retrieve information stored in directories. The Open Directory architecture consists of the DirectoryServices daemon, which receives Open Directory client API calls and sends them to the appropriate Open Directory plug-in.
