Re: certificationAuthority

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.

Actually it's the certificationAuthority object that takes the OU objectClass, not the certificateauthorities container itself. Since the certificationAuthority is just an auxiliary objectClass, it needs a structural objectClass as well (every object must have at least one structural objectClass). As far as LDAP is concerned, you could even use some other structural objectClass (In looking for information about this, I've found some people use the applicationEntity or person classes as well.) This is similar to the macosxodconfig object in cn=config in that it's an OU objectClass with the data stored in the description attribute.


Now that I think about it, I wonder if Keychain Access is expecting a specific name for the object and that is why it doesn't display it (similiar to how you have to use "macosxodconfig" for server-side mappings).

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.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who hasn't been able to get it working :-)
