We will not blindly add the Mac OS X apple.schema file as provided by Apple, but we provide our own version. We have to extend OpenLDAP with some additional schema files. We also assume you use Simple Bind ( -x) to access your LDAP-server. We assume you have already included the samba.schema or samba.ldif schema-file within your LDAP-server. How to cofigure Open Directory in such a way that it knows where to retrieve the data and especially how to tell it to obtain the data from our own OpenLDAP server, since we assume that you already have an OpenLDAP-infrastructure to begin with.Ībout assumtions, we make a couple more. If an application needs to know the users home-directory it asks Open Directory to get that information, so Open Directory needs to know where to fetch that. Open Directory ( opendirectoryd) is a wrapper around several information stores, one of which is can be a LDAP-server.

This document is my attempt to providing this information. There are a lots of documents on the Internet about how to tie a Mac OS X client to an OpenLDAP server. © 2014 Dennis Leeuw dleeuw at made-it dot com Mac OS X and OpenLDAP Mac OS X and OpenLDAP
