Open Directory Service

The Open Directory directory service provides principal information that is obtained using Apple's Open Directory service.

Open Directory provides principal information for users, groups, locations, and resources.

For more information about configuring Open Directory and running Open Directory services, see Apple's Open Directory Administration document.

Configuring the Calendar Server

The full name of the service is twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService and the service takes a node parameter which contains the name of the directory node to bind to.

For example:

<!-- Open Directory Service -->
<key>DirectoryService</key>
<dict>
  <key>type</key>
  <string>twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService</string>

  <key>params</key>
  <dict>
    <key>node</key>
    <string>/Search</string>
  </dict>
</dict>

The special Open Directory node /Search causes the server to use the default directory search path that the host system the server is running on is configured to use. To bind to a specific LDAP service, a node in the form /LDAPv3/ldapserver.example.com may be specified.
