Not sure why I had to take this mysterious detour - probably something local to my machine, but if you're having trouble after following the guide above, see if it helps. There is a way to fix this by editing config files by hand. Just to be clear, leave the original file where it is, untouched and unharmed throughout this step. By default, since about Mojave or so, the Samba server in macOS only authenticates against the local user directory, not against the Open Directory server (even an OD server running on the same machine). Apple has long since stopped providing support and advocacy for macOS servers. ![]() ![]() Apple has also offered to help users transition from Profile Manager to MDM (mobile device management). After which, I was able to delete the duplicated file and everything now works without issue. While the Open Directory feature will remain available, it is time to say goodbye to the Profile Manager tool, deemed obsolete. What I did was duplicate that file in the same folder and changed the duplicate's name to 'index.html', leaving the original in situ.īoth local and user sites then loaded. Open Directory: Included with the installation of the macOS Server application, Open Directory is an LDAP that allows you to configure network-based users and groups. This contains the text "It works!" referred to in the post. However, if, like me, you still can't get the local host site to load, try the following: You should find a file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/. Open Directory was the 1 reason I wanted to use the Server, and it's very disappointing that it stopped working only after a few days. ![]() I tried logging out and back in (still no joy), then restarting the mac (still no joy). Open Directory (opendirectoryd) is a wrapper around several information stores, one of which is can be a LDAP-server. Just a note, in case anyone has the same issue. If you follow these instructions, OS X Server, especially Open Directory will run well: Reinstall OS X BEFORE you install OS X Server, be sure to do the following: Change the name of your Startup Volume NOW (if you want to change it).
