OpenLDAP on Linux for Apple Clients?

groovemaneuver asks: "I've managed to get a working OpenLDAP directory running on my network. Linux, Windows, and Apple boxes are all happily authenticating. I have imported the 'apple.schema' file to the LDAP server from one of my Macs, but I cannot seem to find any info on the proper syntax for the various apple schema attributes. Anyone have any idea where one could find this? This is the one obstacle keeping my network from having a single source of authentication, and I'm sure this info would be useful to more than just myself. Thanks!"

Stuff like this shows how non-network oriented Apple really is with their products. Despite claims to the contrary, when it comes down to nuts and bolts Apple falls short. Google does not return anything useful in regards to this question, it's definitely the fault of Apple for not supporting their business customers well that there is no web resource available for this Ask Slashdot query.

It's really not that surprising, though. Apple has always been geared towards publishing houses, whether they be print or online publishing, and not geared towards "Fortune 500" businesses. Their lack of developer support outside of the artistic arena is infamous.

Good luck finding stuff.
