Step 5: Populate domains
Add user, group, mount, and printer records to the appropriate domains in your hierarchy.
See “Populating Domains” on page 60.
Setting Up the Root Domain of a Simple Hierarchy
The simplest NetInfo hierarchy consists of a root domain and one or more local domains that
bind to it.
To create the root domain, use NetInfo Domain Setup on Mac OS X Server:
1
As the root user, log in to the server where the root domain will reside.
2
Ensure that the server has a valid Domain Name System (DNS) entry in your DNS server. For
example, if the IP address of the server that will host the root domain is 192.168.12.12 and its
DNS name is server.apple.com, you need a corresponding entry in the DNS server that maps
the server’s IP address to the DNS host name. Mac OS X Server Administrator’s Guide
provides information on DNS.
3
Open NetInfo Domain Setup, located in /Applications/Utilities. Click the lock icon to log in.
In the first authentication dialog, enter a server administrator name and password. In the
second dialog, enter the root user name and password.
4
Choose “is a NetInfo Parent” from the “This machine” pop-up menu. “Static Address” should
be selected in the “Find NetInfo Parent via” pop-up menu and “network” should appear in
the NetInfo Server Tag field. Enter the server’s IP address in the NetInfo Parent Address field.
5
If users of Windows computers need to be authenticated using NetInfo, follow the
instructions in “Setting Up Windows User Authentication” on page 56.
