Disabling Authentication Manager
Follow these steps if you no longer want to use Authentication Manager:
1In the /etc/hostconfig file, ensure that this line exists:
AUTHSERVER=-NO-
2Remove all files that have a “.tim” extension from /var/db/netinfo.
3Using NetInfo Manager, remove the /config/authentication_server records from each
domain, and remove the tim_password property from all users.
4Restart the server.
5Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all other servers that host NetInfo domains.
Populating Domains
Use Server Admin on Mac OS X Server to populate domains that reside on the server. Server
Admin provides a consolidated, easy-to-use interface for managing NetInfo records for users,
groups, printers, and mounts.
This section provides a brief summary of the procedures involved in populating domains. For
complete details, see Mac OS X Server Administrator’s Guide and online help for Server
Admin.
Setting Up Mounts and Automounting
Use the Sharing module of Server Admin to identify share points in shared domains that
you want to mount automatically in a user’s /Network directory:
1Open Server Admin on a server that has the shared domain in the login hierarchy. Click the
General tab, then click Sharing.
2To define a share point, choose Set Sharing Attributes, select the item you want to share,
and click Choose. Then configure the share point for AFP, Windows, and FTP access and/or
for NFS access:
aTo set up the share point for AFP, Windows, and FTP access, click “Share this item and
its contents” in the General pane, then set up privileges.
bTo set up the share point for NFS access, choose NFS Access Control from the pop-up
menu in the General pane. Use the NFS Access pane to set up export criteria.
3To set up automounting, choose Automount from the pop-up menu.
4Choose the domain in which you want to make the automount available; you will be
prompted for the user name and password of a user authorized to change the domain.
After you are authenticated, click “Automount this item to clients in domain.”
