After Setting Up a Server
After setting up a server, you can:
Enhance the security, accessibility, and usefulness of your new server by following Â
the advice in the Mac OS X Server Next Steps document that’s generated and placed
on the server’s desktop after initial setup.
Take a few steps to keep the server secure. For information, see the next two topics, Â
“Keeping Your Server Secure” and “Protecting the System Administrator (root)
Account”.
If your organization has an Open Directory server, Active Directory server, or other Â
directory server that you didn’t connect (bind) your new server to during initial
setup, you can connect it now. For instructions, see “Connecting Your Server to a
Directory Server” on page 71.
Use Software Update to install any available Mac OS X Server updates. Â
For information, see “Keeping Snow Leopard Server Up to Date” on page 79.
Congure an AirPort Base Station or an Internet router to protect your network Â
while allowing users to access selected services over the Internet. For information,
see “Protecting Your Network with AirPort Extreme” on page 36 and “Protecting Your
Network with a Router” on page 36.
