ApacheDS Virtual Directory Add-Ons 12
yinyanger writes "Safehaus team is pleased to announce the 0.9.1 release of Penrose. Penrose is an open source java-based virtual directory server based on Apache Directory server. A Virtual Directory does not store any information itself, unlike other LDAP implementations. Requests received from LDAP client applications are processed by the Virtual Directory Server and passed on to the data source hosting the desired data. Frequently this data source will be a relational database, and more often than not it will be the authoritative source of the directory information.
Many thanks to all those who've helped on this release, from end users, folks who've created test cases, submitted patches and developers. You can download a new release from here or view the change log"

Say you have some big store of data (AD for example) for everyone in a organization.
Say you have some app that needs some AD *plus* some other field just for your app, but you don't want to extend the AD schema for the application.
You can use a virtual ldap to 'join' the AD against another ldap, a database table, or a flat file.
