Hello!
First time caller.
I run a Mac OS Server at one location and at another a *nix server. Both are going to be replaced by Synology DS918+'s and as well as office file serving will run email, calendar and contacts. There are a handful of users at each location.
Do I need or want to install LDAP Server on my Synologys?
The Mac Server runs Open Directory, in the *nix box there is a Local Access Directory (and I seem to recall had to set that up before it would let me create any users).
But is LDAP really of use if you 'hot seat' or use a different computer? We don't do that, everyone has their own computer, a standard PC/Mac which they access files on the server via SMB, email using the email app, same for calendar and contacts. I don't see anyone using the web based apps provided by Synology (if that make any difference) or logging in to DSM.
Thanks!
