Mac OS X v10.6 computers can connect to an Open Directory, Active Directory,
or LDAP directory server. If you don’t know which server to connect to, ask your
network administrator.
Important: If your computer name contains a hyphen, you might not be able to join or
bind to a directory domain such as LDAP or Active Directory. To establish binding, use
a computer name that does not contain a hyphen.
Automated Client Conguration
If your Mac OS X v10.6 computer is connected to a network and not connected
to a directory domain, your Mac OS X v10.6 computer will use Bonjour to discover
Mac OS X v10.6 servers.
If it nds a Mac OS X v10.6 server running an Open Directory master that has at least
the one auto-congurable service running (such as AFP, SMB, VPN, Mail, iCal, iChat,
notications) and a user account on the directory domain that matches short or long
name as the currently logged in Mac OS X v10.6 computer user, an invitation appears
on your Mac OS X v10.6 computer.
The invitation oers assistants with setting up your connection to a directory server.
You can accept or decline to connect to a server or decide to connect at a later time.
If your computer discovers more than one Mac OS X v10.6 directory server that you
can connect to, the servers are listed in an invitation pop-up menu. If you join a server,
the assistant opens, connects, and congures your applications with the services the
directory server is running.
To connect to a directory domain using the automated assistant:
1 When the assistant appears click Setup Services.
2 From the Server pop-up menu choose the directory domain you want to join.
There may be more than one directory domain available on your network.
If the server you want to join is not in the list, enter the server name or IP address into
the Server eld and click OK.
3 Enter a user name and password of an account that has privileges to join a computer
to the directory domain you are joining.
If you don’t know this information, contact your directory administrator.
4 Enter the password for the user account that appears in “Enter the password for the
account username on this computer.”
The assistant changes the password of the users directory account on the server to
match the password on the local computer account.
5 Click Continue.
