Setting up LDAP access to LLL server on a Macintosh client
This page describes how to set up LDAP authentication with SSL on Mac OSX 6 (Snow Leopard).
Disable or set up SSL certificate verification
- Open a terminal by clicking on the "Applications" icon in the dock (see red arrow in image below)
- Click Utilities folder
- Click Terminal
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
- Do <code>sudo vi /etc/openldap/ldap.conf</code> file and add <code>TLS_REQCERT never</code> to the end (removing or commenting out any other <code>TLS_REQCERT</code> setting that might be there) if you want to disable SSL certificate verification
- Add <code>TLS_CACERT /path/to/cacert.pem</code> to set it up instead (where cacert.pem is the certificate for the CA, which first must be copied here)
Open Directory access
Click on apple menu, and chose "System Preferences":

- Click on the tab "Search and Mappings", and the dialog below should be shown
- Pick "RFC 2307 (Unix)" template
- Enter <code>dc=lll,dc=lu</code> as search base

- Click Users in left hand pane
- Enter <code>ou=People,dc=lll,dc=lu</code> as a search base
- Check check "first level only"
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
- Click Groups in left hand pane
- Enter <code>ou=Groups,dc=lll,dc=lu</code> as a search base
- Check check "first level only"
- Click ok
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
- Click "Search Policy" icon in Top Bar, and add your newly defined server using the + icon
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
On some newer version of MacOS, you may need to click on the "Search Policy" Icon at the top of the "Directory Utility" (only clickable if currently no service is being edited: click Ok or Cancel to dismiss if you are editing a service), and then add the newly defined service to the list.
Testing
Now is time for testing.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
- Open a terminal as described above ( Application button, then Utilities/Terminal)
- In terminal, enter <code>dscl localhost list /Search/Users
</code>. This displays a list of all users known by the macintosh. If everything worked, it should include all users from the server's LDAP database.
- If the server users are not included, try killing the DirectoryService process (this should cause it to respawn and initialize correctly) and try again
- If all users are included, log out, and log back in as one of the server users (you need to click "Other users" at the login window, then enter its name). It's expected that the login process is slow, as we have not yet set up mounting of <code>/home</code>.
- If login was successful, clean away its temporary home directory (if the system created one)
