OpenLDAP on Linux for Apple Clients?

Posted by Cliff on Monday January 27, 2003 @01:20PM from the interoperability dept.

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!"

Since most users are users are not using LDAP on Jaguar, Apple does not tend to document the steps necessary to set it up. Jaguar Server on the other hand is a different question though.
Integrating Mac OS X with Active Directory BTW this also includes using secure LDAP authentication!
A quick search at Mac OS X Hints turns up some usefull sources too.
