OpenLDAP and OSX

Hello all:

I have been wrestling with this dilemma for a few days now. Basically, I am trying to get an OSX workstation to authenticate users against my LDAP server on a Redhat Linux 9 system.

I have seen the basic setup in a few documents and some posts here and there, but nothing clear as to the setup.

I have tried to use the "From Server" option for pulling the bindings, tried custom bindings, and I have also tried selecting RFC 2307. It still refuses to authenticate. I can perform ldapsearch queries no problem from the OSX workstation.

Recently, I have been trying to get the apple.schema implemented onto the LDAP server. I am using the one found here:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.7/OpenLDAP-37.3.1/AppleExtras/apple.schema

However, I still run into the following error when I include it into my slapd.conf:

/etc/openldap/schema/apple.schema: line 165: AttributeType not found: "authAuthority"

I have tried a lot of uncommenting and commenting of lines in this file and yet nothing. Here is my schema load order in my slapd.conf:

include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/horde.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/qmail.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/rfc822-MailMember.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/kerberosobject.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/apple.schema

Right now, the last line is commented out since I need to have slapd running because it is a live LDAP server. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction?

I have tried non-SSL and SSL connections and I have also tried using user authentication to talk to the LDAP server, yet nothing.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance!
