    I have an LDAPv3 server that I can successfully add in Directory Utility on a 10.5.2 client. I can set the custom mappings and the server responds to searches. I set it up by clicking Services, then LDAPv3, then Edit. It now shows up under Servers as an Open Directory server, but when I start Directory.app, it says that it can’t connect to any Open Directory servers. Ideally, I’d like to be able to use Directory or Address Book to search the LDAP server, as well as use Mail.app’s autocompletion. So I see myself as having three problems:

    1. Directory can’t connect to my LDAP server.
    2. Mail.app can’t use custom mappings for my LDAP server.
    3. Address Book can’t use custom mappings for my LDAP server.

    Anyone have a workaround?

    It’s ldap.itd.umich.edu – the University directory. I had to change a whole ton in the mappings – things like UserName to cn, FirstName to givenName, etc.
