Has anyone had any success in adding a CA to Open Directory (in cn=certificateauthorities)? There is an option in Keychain Access to "Search Directory Services For Certificates" but nothing shows up in that keychain after adding the object to the directory. From what I've been able to find, the object should look like:

dn: ou=iuca,cn=certificateauthorities,dc=ods,dc=iu,dc=edu
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: certificationAuthority
ou: iuca
authorityRevocationList;binary:: MIICjjCCAfcCAQEwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwgdIxCzA…
cACertificate;binary:: MIIE3TCCBEagAwIBAgIBATANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADCBvDELMAkGA…
certificateRevocationList;binary:: MIICjjCCAfcCAQEwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwgdIxC…

First you'll note that the standard OD mappings map CertificateAuthorities to an OU, which doesn't exist in OD by default so you have to re-do the mappings if you have a standard OD setup.


After fixing that you should see the certs using dscl.

That's as far as I've ever been able to get, however. Keychain Access never saw the certs. Although I've been told that even if they do show up in keychain access, they aren't really "trusted." As in you have to drag them from the LDAP entry into your local X509Anchors before they will be treated as a valid certificate.
