Has anyone managed to use an LDAP server for user authentication or for use within mail.app?
There is an app that allows you to specify LDAP for both of these, but I've been unable to add some importatn information (like the base dn of my LDAP) to it, and it dosn't seem to do anything anyway. At least my OS X box never hits the LDAP sever.
I've also tried LookupManager availabe from http://www.bresink.de/osx/LookupManager.html which completely trashed my system.
It also seems Apple has gone it's own way for implementing directory services. At least I couldn't find anything like nsswitch.conf or anything similar to PAM.
Anyone had more success?
