A unification point that federates heterogeneous directory service systems can include an identifier communion table for storing a set of records, each record indexing a unified object ID to a directory object ID and a directory ID. The directory ID can be a unique identifier of a directory service system. The directory object ID can be a unique identifier of a record maintained by the directory service system. The unification point can also include a computer program product for accepting directory service requests including a unified object ID, for using the identifier communion table to look up a corresponding directory object ID and directory ID, for generating a modified directory service requests that substitutes the directory object ID for the unified object ID, for conveying the modified directory service requests to the directory service system, for receiving a response, and for conveying the response to a request issuing entity.
