Abstract
Techniques for providing a consolidated view of directory changes across different directory servers. In one set of embodiments, a changelog record can be received from a directory server, where the directory server is associated with a proprietary changelog format, and where the changelog record is formatted according to the proprietary changelog format. The received changelog record can then be translated into a virtualized changelog record that is formatted according to a standard changelog format, and the virtualized changelog record can be sent to a consuming client. With this virtualization capability, the client does not need to be concerned with, or even aware of, the proprietary changelog mechanisms/formats that may be used by different directory servers in a multi-server deployment.
