Re: certificationAuthority

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.

I completely agree. However, you'll note that the CA entry in Directory Access is mapped to "all" items in the list which includes organizationalUnit. The other categories seem to be mapped to "any" item in the list. WIth a default OD install you get a cn=certificateAuthorities which won't work until you swap "all" with "any".

My understanding was that "all" items means that DS will only return objects in that search base (cn= certificateauthorities,…) that have all those items as objectClasses. If there is an object with only a class of organizationalUnit it won't return it, likewise if there is an object that only has a class of certificationAuthority it won't return it. But as long as the object has both classes, it'll be returned by DS. This is what I have and it works for me in dscl without having to modify the mappings or the default container. It just doesn't appear in Keychain Access.


I might submit this question to Developer Technical Support and see if they know how to get Keychain Access to see it.
