Set DirectoryService debug level

Apple’s document on Extending and Troubleshooting Directory Services has a lot of good info.

One correction though is that the debug level must be an integer.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DirectoryServiceDebug "Debug Logging Priority Level" -integer 2

I’ve notified Apple, so this may be fixed by the time you read this.

Update: That link is dead. Here is an article that offers some similar information.

    Nice catch, Kyle!

    This has been fixed. The line now contains “-int”.

    I think the link is dead. It just takes you to the Mac OS X Reference Library and searching for “Troubleshooting” or “Directory” does not provide a search result with that document name.
    Good blog, by the way.
