Open Directory on a Mac
Apple's built-in LDAP / Kerberos directory · Identity & Accounts
Open Directory is macOS's built-in directory service; an LDAPv3 server (slapd) with Kerberos and a Password Server, used for centralized user accounts and authentication. It's not installed via Homebrew: enable and configure it with Directory Utility (or slapconfig). The value here is monitoring; FrontierStack health-checks the local LDAP service (process + port 389, LDAPS 636), and you can watch a remote Open Directory / LDAP server via the Remote Instance box below so Alerts fire if it goes down. Browse accounts in the Accounts pane (ldapsearch).
