Select Users in the Record Type list. Then edit the “Maps to” value to specify a search base on
the LDAPv2 server that provides user information. The default search base for the Users
record type is ou=people, o=company name.
Select Groups in the Record Type list. Then edit the “Maps to” value to specify a search base
on the LDAPv2 server that provides group information. The default search base for the
Groups record type is ou=groups, o=company name.
As needed, select other items in the Record Types list and edit their “Maps to” values to
specify a search base on the LDAPv2 server that specifies the appropriate information.
6 Click the Data tab and for any Mac OS X data type listed on the left, edit the corresponding
LDAPv2 attributes on the right.
Select RecordName in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify one
or more LDAPv2 attributes that store the names a user can be known by, including the user’s
short name. This same mapping identifies the LDAPv2 attributes that store a group name for
the Groups record type.
Select UniqueID in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the
LDAPv2 attribute that uniquely identifies a user. This same mapping identifies the LDAPv2
attribute that uniquely identifies a group in the Groups record type.
Select RealName in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the
LDAPv2 attribute that stores the full user name.
Select MailAttribute in the Data Type column if users will be using mail service on the server.
Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the LDAPv2 attribute that stores the user’s mail
settings in the required format.
Select EMailAddress in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the
LDAPv2 attributes that store the forwarding address. This attribute is used for users without a
mail attribute.
Select Password in the Data Type column only if the LDAPv2 server stores user passwords in
UNIX crypt format. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the LDAPv2 attribute that stores
the password.
Select PrimaryGroupID in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify
the LDAPv2 attribute that stores the ID number for the user’s primary group.
Select HomeDirectory in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the
LDAPv2 attributes that store the home directory information in the required format.
Select UserShell in the Data Type column. Then edit the “Maps to” value to identify the
LDAPv2 attribute that stores the path and filename of the user login shell. This is the default
shell used for command-line interactions with the server. Enter “None” to prevent users who
are defined in this directory from accessing the server remotely via a command line.
