32 Chapter 2 Getting Started With User Management

Step 1: Before you begin, do some planning

Analyze your users’ needs to determine which directory service configuration and

home directory set up would be most suitable for them. See “Planning Strategies for

User Management” on page 37.

Step 2: Set up the server infrastructure

Make sure that one or more Mac OS X Servers are set up for hosting user accounts,

group accounts, computer lists, home directories, group folders, and other shared

folders. New servers come preinstalled with Mac OS X Server software. Use Server

Assistant (residing in /Applications/Server/) to perform initial server setup. If you need

to install server software, use the getting started guide first to understand system

requirements and installation options.

Set up the server so that it hosts or provides access to shared directory domains.

Shared directory domains (also called shared directories) contain user, group, and

computer information you want many computers to be able to access. Users whose

accounts reside in a shared directory are referred to as network users.

There are different kinds of shared directories and different ways to work with

information stored in them. You can use Workgroup Manager to add and change

accounts that reside in the LDAP directory of an Open Directory master, a NetInfo

domain, or other read/write directory domains. If you’ll be using LDAPv2, read-only

LDAPv3, BSD configuration files, or other read-only directories, make sure they are

configured to support Mac OS X Server access and that they provide the data you need

for accounts. It may be necessary to add, modify, or reorganize information in a

directory to provide the information in the format needed.

The Open Directory administration guide provides instructions for setting up a shared

directory on Mac OS X Server or configuring access to a shared directory on another

computer. An appendix in the Open Directory administration guide describes account

data formats that Mac OS X expects—information useful when you need to use

directories that don’t reside on Mac OS X Server computers.

If some of your users will be using Windows computers, see the Windows services

administration guide to learn how to set up the server for managing Windows users,

groups, and computers. For example, the Windows services administration guide

describes how to set up user accounts in a Mac OS X Server directory domain so the

server can provide file services, domain login, and home directories to Windows users.

Open Directory offers a variety of options for authenticating users (including Windows

users) whose accounts are stored in directory domains on Mac OS X Server. In addition,

Open Directory can access accounts in existing directories on your network, such as a

Windows server’s Active Directory. See the Open Directory administration guide for

setup instructions.
