Supported Standards

Mac OS X Server provides standards-based workgroup and Internet services. Instead of developing proprietary server technologies, Apple has built on the best open source projects: Samba 3, OpenLDAP, Kerberos, Dovecot, Apache, Jabber, SpamAssassin, and more. Mac OS X Server integrates these robust technologies and enhances them with a unified, consistent management interface.

Because it is built on open standards, Mac OS X Server is compatible with existing network and computing infrastructures. It uses native protocols to deliver directory services, file and printer sharing, and secure network access to Mac, Windows, and Linux clients.
