Integrating MacOS X and Novell eDirectory 3

Prerequisites

For readers not familiar with Mac OS X directory services, we recommend the

Mac OS X Server Administrator’s Guide and the white paper entitled

Understanding and Using NetInfo. Both are available at www.apple.com/macosx/server

The IETF and various LDAP Directory Service vendors have a number of valuable

resources to help readers not familiar with the LDAP standard and associated schema.

Mac OS X uses the LDAP protocol to connect to Novell’s eDirectory. This paper

assumes that you have in-depth knowledge of eDirectory, especially the ways in which it

needs to be configured to support standard LDAP schema definitions. The instructions

for working with the Netware server and eDirectory in this document assume that you are

familiar with Netware 6 and eDirectory. They do not show every step you use to update

eDirectory. If you need additional assistance, consult an individual with Netware 6 and

eDirectory expertise, refer to the documentation for these products, or go to this Web site:

http://support.novell.com/

NFAP (Native File Access Pack) for Macintosh and UNIX need to be installed on your

Netware 6 Server.

Terminology

There is a difference in terminology between Mac OS X and Netware that will be helpful

when reading this document. The first is that the UID (user ID) in Mac OS X is a

numerical value, similar with other UNIX platforms, but in Netware a user UID is the

“username”. Mac OS X uses a numerical value to distinguish users Novell uses an X.500

style name to distinguish users. Example:

username UID

Mac OS X Fred 100

Netware Fred Fred

Novell does allow for a user to be given a numerical ID. When a UID in Novell is

discussed what is meant is the user’s username (Fred), uidNumber is the numerical ID.

To contrast, when discussing UIDs in Mac OS X the numerical ID is meant (100).
