Connecting and Authenticating to Directory Domains in Workgroup Manager

When you install your server or set up an administrator computer, Workgroup Manager is installed in /Applications/Server/. Use the Finder to open the application, or click its icon in the Dock or in the toolbar of the Server Admin application.

You can view a directory domain without authenticating by choosing Server > View Directories in Workgroup Manager. Initially, you have read-only access to information displayed in Workgroup Manager. To make changes in a directory, you must authenticate using a domain administrator account. This approach is most useful when you’re administering different servers and working with different directory domains.

To connect and authenticate to directory domains:

1Open Workgroup Manager and when the Workgroup Manager Connect window appears click Browse, or enter the IP address or DNS name for a server that connects to directory domains.

2Enter the user name and password for a domain administrator and click Connect.

3To change directory domains while connected to a server, click the globe icon (see below) to select a domain, then authenticate as a domain administrator by clicking the lock icon.

4To connect to a different server, choose Server > Connect.
