Step 6: Import exported users and groups and other data

You can use Workgroup Manager or the dsimport tool to import users and groups and other data:

ÂSee the user management guide for details about importing by using Workgroup Manager.

ÂSee the Open Directory administration guide for information about passwords of users originally created with Mac OS X Server version 10.1.5 or earlier.

ÂSee the command-line administration guide for dsimport instructions and a description of Workgroup Manager export format.

To import users and groups using Workgroup Manager:

1Place the export file(s) you created in Step 1 on page 64 in a location accessible from your server.

2If you want imported users to have passwords validated using Open Directory authentication, you can set that up in the preset you defined in Step 5 above. Enable the password option that forces users to change their passwords the next time they log in.

You can also change password settings using Workgroup Manager after you’ve finished importing users.

3In Workgroup Manager, click the Accounts button.

4Click the globe icon in the toolbar to open the directory into which you want to import accounts.

5Click the lock to authenticate as domain administrator.

6Choose Server > Import, select the import file, and specify import options. If you’re using a preset, make sure you identify the preset.

7Click Import.

8If you want groups to use new version 10.4 features such as nesting and stricter membership checking, upgrade groups using Workgroup Manager.

In Workgroup Manager, open the directory containing the groups. Select one or more of the groups and click “Upgrade legacy group.” Click Save.

9To create home directories for imported users, you have several options.

Create home directories one at a time by selecting a user account in Workgroup Manager, clicking Advanced, then clicking Create Home Now.

Create all the home directories by using the -aargument of the createhomedir

command. For details, see the command-line administration guide or the man page for

createhomedir.

A home directory associated with an AFP share point is automatically created the first time a user logs in, if it doesn’t exist already.
