List & documentation for Open Directory properties Anyone know where I can find documentation on the various properties available for directory services on the Mac?

man dscl only tells me that I can -create or -read a record. It doesn't tell me how to create them; what properties are available and the options can be set on each. I know a few (RealName, UniqueID, PrimaryGroupID, UserShell) but where can I find documentation on all of them?
There is a document from Apple called
"Mac OS X Server
Open Directory Administration

Read Appendix "Mac OS X Directory Data", it contains all what you ask about:


"Standard Attributes in Group Records" at page 222
"Standard Attributes in User Records" at page 217

You can get this document here.



There are a lot of newer documents on Apple site (haven't seen them yet). They may be useful to.
