Golden Triangle with OpenLDAP rather than AD

[Kestrel]

I am trying to set up our 10.5.7 Xserve to connect to an OpenLDAP instance to get usernames and passwords, then extend on that using OpenDirectory. I’ve tried connecting the Xserve to the LDAP server via the Directory Utility, but there’s not an option for straight LDAP, just OD or AD.

How do I connect my Xserve to an OpenLDAP instance?

Use Directory Utility.
Click Show Advanced Settings.
Click the Services icon in the toolbar.
Double-click LDAPv3.
Click the New… button.

Hopefully, you can figure the rest out from there, as things like search base and LDAP mappings vary from organization to organization.
