Chapter 1 DHCP Service 13
Setting LDAP Options for a Subnet
You can use DHCP to provide your clients with LDAP server information rather than
manually configuring each client’s LDAP information. The order in which the LDAP
servers appear in the list determines their search order in the automatic Open Directory
search policy.
If you have are using this Mac OS X Server as an LDAP master, the LDAP options will be
pre-populated with the necessary configuration information. If your LDAP master
server is another machine, you’ll need to know the domain name or IP address of the
LDAP database you want to use. You also will need to know the LDAP search base.
To set LDAP options for a subnet:
1 In Server Admin, choose DHCP from the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Subnets tab.
4 Select a subnet and click Edit.
5 Click the LDAP tab.
6 Enter the domain name or IP address of the LDAP server for this subnet.
7 Enter the search base for LDAP searches.
8 Enter the LDAP port number, if you’re using a non-standard port.
9 Select LDAP over SSL, if necessary.
10 Click Save.
Setting WINS Options for a Subnet
You can give additional information to client computers running Windows in a subnet
by adding the Windows-specific settings to the DHCP supplied network configuration
data. These Windows-specific settings allow Windows clients to browse their Network
Neighborhood.
You must know the domain name or IP address of the WINS/NBNS primary and
secondary servers (this is usually the IP address of the DHCP server itself), and the NBT
node type (which is usually “broadcast”). The NBDD Server and the NetBIOS Scope ID
are typically not used, but you may need to use them, depending on your Windows
clients’ configuration, and Windows network infrastructure.
