Map A User's eDirectory Photo Attribute to the OS X Picture Attribute:

OS X gives the option for a user to select a picture to represent them, and eDirectory supports having a photo as a user attribute. Ideally, Kanaka would be able to use this photo attribute for the OS X user picture. I see two implementation issues for this feature -- where to store the photo, and how to ensure that the photo is in a format that OS X can understand. The former detail may have to be implemented after the user's first login, as it will otherwise not be predictable which user photos need to be cached on a workstation. Once the user logs in, the photo could be stored somewhere like /Library/Application Support/Kanaka/User Pictures/ .
