Mac OS X v10.6: Using Keychain Access to search directory services for certificates

In this advanced article, learn how Keychain Access can be configured to search directory service nodes for published certificates in Mac OS X v10.6 and later. If your organization uses digital certificates for email signing or encryption, and publishes user certificates to a directory repository such as Active Directory or Open Directory, you can use this feature for automatic lookups of email recipient certificates. Note: This feature requires that the Mac OS X v10.6 client already be configured to use a directory service such as Open Directory, and that a keychain certificate issued by your organization's certificate authority has been added.

NAME
createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer. SYNOPSIS
createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username] DESCRIPTION
createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories. OPTIONS
-s creates home directories for server home paths only (default). -c creates home directories for local home paths only. -b creates home directories for both server and local home paths. -a creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path. -l creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain. -n directoryDomainName creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path. -u username creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a, -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed. -i reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line. -h usage help. FILES
/usr/sbin/createhomedir location of tool CAVEATS
When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly. Mac OS X June 1, 2019 Mac OS X
