Best solution to host multiple domains in LDAPv3 OSX Server

[Sean Howard]

We have our server close to configured and ready to go. We are struggling with the best way to host multiple domains on this server (company1.com, company2.com)

We have created users with their company domain built into them. ie: sean_company1_com and sean_company2_com with short names that have allowed us to have sean@company1.com have a seperate email from sean@company2.com

Our remaining challenge has to do with Open Directory. We have made our OD the Master. But how should we approach the issue of seperating the users into groups?

We were considering setting up multiple domains but want to make sure this is necessary. Is there any way to use Groups? Our concern is when we get into allowing LDAP searching for Contacts in the clients. We don’t want the risk of someone from Company 1 being able to search the directory of company 2 email and contact information.

Please let me know if I have not provided enough information. Any input is greatly appreciated as we struggle with the best path to investigate/implement.

Thank you so much, Joel,

I was afraid it was a stupid question. I have begun reading about setting up multiple domains by editing the config files and will continue down that path.

Oh the joy. 😉 😉
