Setting Up Services
After installation and initial startup, the first time you open Server Admin, you see any services that were configured during server setup listed underneath the server’s name in the server list. If no services were configured during server setup, Server Admin prompts you to select the services you want to configure on the server.
You add services for administration and configure services using Server Admin and add users and groups using Workgroup Manager.
Before you can enable or configure and service in Server Admin, it must be added to the administered service list.
The following sections survey initial setup of individual services and tell you where to find instructions for tailoring services to support your needs.
Adding Services to the Server View
Before you can set up services, you must add the service to the server view in Server Admin. For example, by default, no services can be seen for your server. As you select services to administer, configuration panes become accessible in a list underneath your computer name.
The first time you launch Server Admin and connect to a new server, you are prompted to select the services you want to set up and configure on that server. When you select services from the list, those services appear underneath the server hostname in the server list.
To change services to administer:
1Open Server Admin.
2Select a server, click the Settings button in the toolbar, and then click the Services tab.
3Select the checkbox for each service you want to turn on.
From the command-line:
sudo serveradmin settings info:serviceConfig:services:com.apple. ServerAdmin.<service name>:configured = yes
