Re: [389-users] UUIDs

See this for details: https://discussions.apple.com/message/2070212 This highlights the crazy balkanization with LDAP that drives me bonkers. So the idea of every user having a UUID (which is what GeneratedUID is) seems like a reasonable idea and might be useful in general for all users. But we end up with an "apple-user" schema with an "apple-generateduid" attribute that will clearly be apple specific. Apparently there is an RFC for an "entryUUID" attribute: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4530 Which seems like an interesting idea. Did this get anywhere?
