localemanager(8) BSD System Manager's Manual localemanager(8)
NAME
localemanager -- Configure OpenDirectory Server Locales
SYNOPSIS
localemanager operation [-l localename] [-subnet 1.2.3.4/5]
[-server servername] [-i IP address]
DESCRIPTION
localemanager creates, destroys, and edits OpenDirectory Server Locale
information. Locales are collections of OpenDirectory servers to assist
clients in locating the nearest OpenDirectory Server.
To use OpenDirectory Server Locales, simply create a locale on an OD
server with the createLocale operation. Then add servers and subnets to
the locale. All localemanager operations are performed on the local
OpenDirectory node.
The first time a locale is created, a DefaultLocale will automatically be
created as well. The DefaultLocale will be used for any clients that
don't match a subnet in any other locale.
Before a locale can be configured, the server must already be an OpenDi-
rectory server.
Locales can be defined on each of the OD servers or on a single OD server
in the group of OD master/replicas. For the latter, the locale informa-
tion will get replicated to all of the other servers but locales will
need to be "enabled" on the other servers by running the command
localemanager enableLocales.
Commands:
help Displays the commands and options.
createLocale Creates a new locale on the local OD server. This command
requires the -l option.
deleteLocale Deletes a locale from the local OD server. This command
requires the -l option.
showLocale Displays the current locale(s). The -l option can be used
to display a specific locale. If -l is not specified, all
locales are displayed.
enableLocales
Enables the use of locales on an OD server. This command
is automatically run the first time any localemanager com-
mand is run on an OD server. Therefore this command only
needs to be run if no other localemanager commands have
been (or will be) run on this server.
addSubnet Adds a new subnet to the specified locale. This command
requires the -l -subnet options.
removeSubnet Removes a subnet from the specified locale. This command
requires -l -subnet options.
addServer Adds a server to the specified locale. This command
requires the -l -server options. If the -i option is spec-
ified, that IP address will be used by locale clients.
This may be useful for multi-homed servers to restrict
locale clients to a specific network interface. If the -i
option is not specified the IP address(es) will be looked
up.
removeServer Removes a server from the specified locale. This command
requires -l -server options. If the -i option is speci-
fied, only that IP address will be removed from the locale.
If the -i option is no specified, all of the server's IP
addresses will be removed from the locale.
Options:
-l locale Locale name.
-subnet 192.168.0.0/16
Subnet specified in CIDR notation.
-server server.example.com
Server fully-qualified domain name.
-i 192.168.1.1
Use this IP address for the server. Typically used to limit
locale clients to a specific interface on a multi-homed
server.
