OpenLDAP, Mac OS X

[Mark Hodge <mark.hodge@stonebow.otago.ac.nz>]

Hi everyone.

I am wanting to push accounts into Apple's "Open Directory" (which uses 
OpenLDAP).

My modest first step is to add a single user account using ldapadd or 
ldapmodify in conjunction with a simple ldif file.

Easy you might think, but after two weeks of reading documentation 
(openldap.org, apple.com, googling, several lists) and trying to make 
sense of things, I still haven't been able to get as far as a sucessfull 
ldapsearch, let alone an ldapadd or ldapmodify :-(

My search prompts as expected for the diradmin password, but then 
reports ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49).

ldapsearch -x -b "dc=testserver,dc=otago,dc=ac,dc=nz" -W -D 
"cn=diradmin,dc=testserver,dc=otago,dc=ac,dc=nz" "(objectclass=*)"

I *think* I've gotten this right. If anyone here has already managed to 
do what I am trying to do, I would really appreciate knowing where I am 
going wrong.

Cheers,
Mark
