LDAP
Mac OS
X includes OpenLDAP (http://www.openldap.org), an open source
implementation of LDAPv3. By default, it’s disabled
on Mac OS X. To enable the
OpenLDAP server, add the following
line to /etc/hostconfig (for more information on
hostconfig, see Chapter 2):
LDAPSERVER=-YES-
By default,
OpenLDAP is configured to consult the
network domain. If your Mac is running the default (standalone)
Directory Services configuration,
you’ll only have the local domain. So,
you’ll need to edit
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf and set
the
datasource entry
to:
datasource /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb
If your Mac’s Directory Services configuration has been altered to participate in a larger network, you should be careful about changing your LDAP configuration. Consult your system administrator for more information. (And if you are the system administrator, have at it!)
When you reboot your computer,
LDAP automatically starts up. To start LDAP
without rebooting, run the command sudo SystemStarter start
LDAP. This LDAP server shares the same database as NetInfo
(see Chapter 3).
