Connecting OS X Server to Novell NetWare 6.5 eDirectory as a proxy
Have anyone tested to connect OS X Server to eDirectory as a "proxy"??
Macosxlabs.org had a WebCast in 2004 (#17) expalining integration with eDiretory and somewhere during the cast Dan Sinema from Apple mentioned this aproach of connecting to eDirectory and letting Workgroup Manager add/edit all OS X specific entries to directory. I this case you should not need to manually extend schema for Novell, but Workgroup Manager would do that for you.
I haven't tested this solution but I wonder if there is any practical experiance concerning this issue?
In my case I would like to connect OS X Server (Tiger, 10.4.8 UB or later) to Novell NetWare 6.5 eDirectory and have Novell take care of PC clients and OS X Server of macs as if it was standalone Master OD. The only thing taht I would like to sync is usernames and their passwords.
so if you have any ideas or practical expereance please share 😉
