Setting Up NetInfo Hierarchies 57

4Check the Authentication Manager box.

5Click Save and close NetInfo Domain Setup.

6Restart the server. Authentication Manager is now enabled for both the local and the root

domains.

7Open Server Admin and use the Users & Groups module to reset passwords of existing users

who will be using Windows computers. New users are automatically set up for encrypted

password validation.

Then enable Authentication Manager on each additional Mac OS X computer whose local

domain binds to the root domain:

1As the root user, log in to the computer.

2Open the Terminal application, located in /Applications/Utilities.

3Enter the following command line, where “local” is the NetInfo tag for a local domain:

[computer1:~] root# tim -init -auto local

4When prompted, enter and re-enter an encryption key:

Password for local:

Re-enter to verify:

Initialize service for local: Operation Succeeded

Enable autostart for local: Operation Succeeded

5In the computer’s /etc/hostconﬁg ﬁle, ensure that this line exists:

AUTHSERVER=-YES-

6Restart the computer or start Authentication Manager by entering this command line in the

Terminal application:

[computer1:~] root# tim

7Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each additional Mac OS X computer that uses the root domain.

Other Hierarchies

In hierarchies that have several levels of shared domains and in hierarchies that use clones,

ﬁrst enable Authentication Manager on every server hosting a shared domain that is not a

clone, then enable Authentication Manager on each clone’s server. Finally, enable

Authentication Manager on every additional Mac OS X computer that has a local domain that

binds into the hierarchy.
