Disabling Authentication Manager

Follow these steps if you no longer want to use Authentication Manager:

1 In the /etc/hostconﬁg ﬁle, ensure that this line exists:

AUTHSERVER=-NO-

2 Remove all ﬁles that have a “.tim” extension from /var/db/netinfo.

3 Using NetInfo Manager, remove the /conﬁg/authentication_server records from each

domain, and remove the tim_password property from all users.

4 Restart the server.

5 Repeat 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:

1 Open Server Admin on a server that has the shared domain in the login hierarchy. Click the

General tab, then click Sharing.

2 To 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:

a To 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.

b To 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.

3 To set up automounting, choose Automount from the pop-up menu.

4 Choose 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.”
