I am using it for a company address book and contact manager, not auth, but it works well. It's in ports (/usr/ports/net/openldap*). You will need to understand how schemas work and define one that is compliant with whatever Macs want for password authorization. I'm not doing that, so I can't help much except to say that openldap runs just fine on FreeBSD! I have beat my way through attributes and schemas and all that so perhaps I could answer some questions. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
