| 1. | How can Open Directory be extended to communicate with alternate directory- service protocols? |
| 2. | What is the advantage of using an LDAP browser to test a connection to an LDAP server before using Directory Access? |
| 3. | What are three choices for supplementing missing directory-service data on a third- party server to successfully integrate Mac OS X? |
| 4. | What is a common deficiency when mapping Mac OS X to popular third-party directory services? |
| 5. | Which Open Directory attribute contains the address for the share point containing the home folder? |
| 6. | If the directory server does not provide mount records, how could you provide mount records for your client computers? |
| 7. | If you are unable to modify the schema on an LDAP server to support Mac OS Xspecific records, what alternative method could you use? |
| 1. | A custom plug-in can be developed or purchased for use in an organization's network. One example of this is the ADmitMac plug-in available from Thursby. |
| 2. | An LDAP browser can confirm you have the correct settings and can establish a connection to the LDAP server. Once data can successfully be accessed, you can proceed with configuring Directory Access with the established settings. |
| 3. | Repurpose existing fields, modify the schema of the directory, use local mappings with static or variable attributes |
| 4. | Many directory servers do not provide a default attribute for HomeDirectory, which is required for a Mac OS X network home folder. |
| 5. | HomeDirectory |
| 6. | When a directory server is unable to provide mount records, the mount records could be created and stored in the NetInfo databases on the client computers. |
| 7. | Instead of modifying the schema on the main directory server, you could set up a Mac OS X Server computer to provide the additional records. The client computers would then be configured to retrieve data from both servers. |
