I want to set that from a shell script. Using defaults write was my first thought, but the plist that controls that setting is not in the domain ("Domain SearchNodeConfig.plist does not exist"). So, that means in order to "trip" the flag you need to edit the plist by hand.<div><br></div><div>Now, the plist contains information in this format:</div><div><br></div><div><div><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></div><div><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<a href="http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd</a>"></div><div><plist version="1.0"></div><div><dict></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><key>DHCP LDAP</key></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><dict></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><key>/Sets/5FB6FAF4-3397-4981-BCC0-4D8FE463CA1C</key></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><true/></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></dict></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><key>Search Node PlugIn Version</key></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><string>Search Node PlugIn Version 1.7</string></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><key>Search Policy</key></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><integer>1</integer></div><div></dict></div><div></plist></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Notice the key "DHCP LDAP". You need to set the value of the key to true, as it is here (<true/>), if you want to gather the LDAP info from DHCP. Since I cannot use defaults write to do this, that means I have to use sed to parse out the key and then inject the true flag. BTW, the key value (in this case <key>/Sets/5FB6FAF4-3397-4981-BCC0-4D8FE463CA1C</key>) is different for each machine, so just dropping the plist into each machine won't work (I tried).</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps.</div><div> <div><div id="sig"> <div class="row"><br> <strong>Steve Wood</strong> <br> Director, Information Technology <br> <a href="mailto:swood@integerdallas.com">swood@integerdallas.com</a> <br><br> The Integer Group | 1999 Bryan St. | Ste. 1700 | Dallas, TX 75201 <br> T 214.758.6813 | F 214.758.6907 | C 940.312.2475 <br> <br> <img src="http://extranet.integerdallas.com/Integer/signature/green.jpg"> <br><br> </div> </div></div> </div><br><div><div>On Jun 6, 2008, at 9:18 AM, Clinton Blackmore wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the change you want to make, but if you want to edit a plist, you want to use the "defaults" command.
