I've written a <a href="http://identityman.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-on-virtual-directory-pervasiveness.html" rel="nofollow">reply </a> on my blog on a separate point, would love to hear your thoughts on that. Besides that, Clayton mentions "...Now you have a picture of why virtual directories are so widely deployed". I guess that depends on what your definition is of "widely deployed." I understand the point about not sharing numbers, but out of the 40+ environments I've seen over the past 2 years, maybe 3 actually used a virtual directory in their infrastructure. Of course, not all the environments I'm seeing are oracle shops, and 1 of the 3 had OVD. And even in these environments, nearly *all* in house apps were leveraging AD. (I would have posted to Clayton's blog, but I couldn't figure out how. It's early.) Thanks Nishant for the clarification.
