Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to others trying to further integrate Apple OS X based
computers into a 3
rd
party directory service. This document focuses on the Novell eDirectory environment, however
the same concepts can be applied to any directory service that utilizes LDAP. This guide is aimed to build upon, and
supplement, other documents on this topic.
There are 3 main areas this document focuses on. The first is LDAP integration into eDirectory, which is covered in
the
Directory Setup
&
Desktop Setup
section. The next supplements this integration and further utilizes it to provide
management. This is outlined in the chapters
Login Scripts
and
Managing Preferences
. The last is a management
overview of the systems that can be used in Mac OS 10.4 to further streamline the support process. This is covered
in the
Desktop Management
section. The thought behind this piece is most organizations integrating Mac OS X
would like to have desktop management, and it might be a part of OS X that is unfamiliar. To tie these three
together, a scenario is posed, and utilizing all items above, a solution explained to show how to utilize all topics.
This is covered in the section
Putting it all together
.
