The serveradmin command has an option to run commands. I’ve talked about these in past articles, for doing tasks like asking how many concurrent NFS connections are open on a host. Well, here’s another, and it’s a simple command. Here, we’re going to look at whether the Open Directory server has a CA. To do so, we’ll use the serveradmin command, along with the command verb. Then, we’ll add the certs option, followed by command= and then the payload of the command. In this case that’s isODCAPresent:
sudo serveradmin command certs:command = isODCAPresent
This is a simple, informational command, similar to the web:command of getSites or the mail:command of getConnectedUsers. Enjoy!
