Apple Remote Desktop 3

Client authentication

To manage a Mac OS X system using Apple Remote Desktop, administrators need to authenticate and receive authorization from the Apple Remote Desktop Client software—ensuring that only authorized users can control a computer or perform specified administrative tasks.

Apple Remote Desktop can perform authentication and authorization against your organization’s directory server. Or for organizations that rely on the local computer for authentication, Apple Remote Desktop supports authentication against one or more local accounts.

Apple Remote Desktop 3 gives you all of the tools you need to manage the Mac computers on your network—whether you’re distributing software, providing online assistance, or collecting information about hardware and software assets. You can manage computers individually or multiple computers at the same time.

Getting Started

To get started with Apple Remote Desktop, install the administration software on the system you will use to manage remote Mac computers. Client software is built into Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther and later, so it’s easy to implement Apple Remote Desktop 3 across your organization. Apple Remote Desktop 3 is available in two versions: a 10 Managed Systems edition for small workgroups and an Unlimited Managed Systems edition for managing more than 10 clients.

Security and encryption

Apple Remote Desktop 3 uses 128-bit AES encryption to ensure that all remote communications are secure, even over the Internet, with client computers running Mac OS X v10.3 or later. For screen control and file copy tasks, where encrypting large amounts of data may significantly degrade performance, administrators can choose encryption for improved security or leave encryption off for better performance.

Using a Task Server

A Task Server can collect reporting data on a scheduled basis or execute the new AutoInstall feature in Apple Remote Desktop 3, ideal for updating software on mobile systems whenever they connect to the network. By assigning a Task Server to perform these tasks, you can free up the administrator computer for handling critical management demands.1

User mode

If you wish to allow non-administrator users to implement specific features of Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can enable or disable features in the Apple Remote Desktop Security preference pane. This can be useful for classroom teachers or less technical users who need to perform a limited set of desktop management tasks without reliance on the administrator.
