Use a free LDAP server with Address Book
This sounds utterly awesome, but I can't seem to get it to work in Mac OS X 10.5.2. I tried using the command line
ldapsearch tool but that didn't work either. Specifically, I'm using Address Book.app at Version 4.1 (687.1). Here are the settings I've used in the LDAP preferences:
Name: FreeLDAP.org Tests
Server: ds1.us.freeldap.org
Port: 636 (though I also tried to use 389)
Use SSL: Checked (though I also tried unchecked—both port combinations)
Allow self-signed certificates: Checked (though I also tried unchecked—both port combinations)
Search Base: o=entic.net
Scope: Subtree
Authentication: Simple
User name: uid=myusername, ou=People, o=entic.net
Password: my password
It's a no-go. The command line gives me error output like this:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:or like this if I try to use SSL (with the -Z flag to ldapsearch):
ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11) additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failedWhat might be wrong, or is FreeLDAP.org simply not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.x Leopard? ---
Use a free LDAP server with Address Book
You need to get the certificate and import it into keychain access and tell keychain access to accept it. This technique will only work for SSL ports. For TLS it won't work.
If necessary run this command in Termminal substituting the DNS name of your server for "host" and the port for 636 if it differs:
If you get a bunch of text copy and paste the parts from the
until and including the
into a file called host.cert
double clicking on host.cert should open keychain acess and allow you to accept the certificate.
