Retired Document
Important: Support for DirectoryService plug-ins has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
A new architecture was introduced in OS X v10.9 to allow the creation of native Open Directory modules. Unlike DirectoryService, opendirectoryd uses modules implemented as a standalone process that uses XPC to communicate with opendirectoryd. Implementing a module as an XPC service ensures a private address space and improves security and reliability, because modules cannot crash another module or opendirectoryd.
