PlistBuddy – How to get it in 10.7 and 10.8?

[By_Default]

Please have mercy on me. I am trying to script changes to the ldap plist and virtually all topics I have found use PlistBuddy. I don’t have it on either 107 or 10.8, even after installing Xcode and it’s command line utilities.

Apparently it’s there, but possibly hidden. If you are new to Mac Administration like me, you can still call it explicitly:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy

As such, you can then edit your ldap-domain.plist directly, like:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c “add ‘:module options:ldap:Denied SASL Methods:’ string GSSAPI” /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/LDAPv3/ldap.your.name.plist
