NAMO is an application that helps you run a local DNS server on your Mac. You don't have to be a network professional: the simple user interface makes it possible for anyone to install and set up a name server under macOS within a few minutes. For users of MAMP PRO, NAMO even automatically resolves any selected virtual host. From the page you linked to - 'Using rake db:populate will build a up the necessary directory structure in your local LDAP instance for development. Then you can do a test query: ldapsearch -D 'cn=admin,dc=localhost' -W -x -b 'o=unsw,dc=localhost' – stuartd Oct 6 '14 at 11:47.
macOS Server 5.10 requires macOS Catalina 10.15 or later. After installing the macOS update, you can get macOS Server from the App Store. (To prevent interruption of services, new versions of Server aren't installed automatically, even when App Store preferences are set to install other updates automatically.)
During installation, you might see the message 'Server app replacement detected.' This is expected. All Server settings and data are preserved during the update, and you can use the Server app to finish setting up previously configured services after the update.
If you're upgrading from macOS Server 5.6.3 or earlier, learn about changes introduced in macOS Server 5.7.1.

Some time ago, Mac OS X Hints published a hint I submitted regarding the use of the
.local
TLD (top level domain) with Mac OS X. Specifically, the hint centered around the use of Mac OS X with Active Directory domains using the .local
TLD. For ease of access, here’s that same hint.Basically, Mac OS X uses the
.local
TLD for Bonjour/Rendezvous services, and is configured to use multicast DNS (mDNS) for discovery of those services. This configuration occurs via a file named local
in the /etc/resolver
directory. Apple’s Knowledge Base article offers a solution, but that solution involves editing this local
file, which affects Bonjour/Rendezvous operation. This solution, on the other hand, does not affect the local
file in any way, and thus does not interfere with Bonjour/Rendezvous.Let’s say that you need to integrate Mac OS X with an Active Directory domain called company.local. Simply create a file in
/etc/resolver
named company.local
with the following contents:Obviously, replace the letters in the text above with the IP addresses of your appropriate DNS servers for the company.local Active Directory domain. Then, flush the lookupd cache with
lookupd -flushcache
and that’s it!With this file in place, your Mac OS X system will resolve company.local (or subdomain.company.local) via the instructions in the file
/etc/resolver/company.local
, but will handle Bonjour/Rendezvous service discovery via mDNS in the same fashion.Metadata and Navigation
