Preface About This Supplement 9
 Importing accounts. The performance of importing accounts into an LDAPv3
directory has been greatly improved. In addition, you can now import password
policy settings, control whether presets are applied during import, and specify the
amount of information logged.
Server Administration
Mac OS X Server management continues to become easier and more effective:
 Open Directory schema replication. You can now store LDAP schema in the
directory, letting you add new schema without manually copying configuration files.
Changes are automatically propagated from the Open Directory master to all its
replicas.
 Preference editor. If you want fine-grain control of preference settings, you can work
with preference manifests using Workgroup Manager’s new preference editor.
Preference manifests are files that describe the structure and values of an
application’s or utility’s preferences. The preference editor lets you work with
preference manifests for the predefined preferences or add new preference manifests
for applications and utilities of interest.
 Junk mail and virus filtering. Mail service protects users from junk mail and other
annoying or unauthorized messages. You can define filters that help minimize junk
mail and viruses, filter out unsolicited commercial email, and detect messages that
contain particular content. Junk mail filtering, based on the powerful SpamAssassin,
includes an autolearning option.
 Network gateway setup. A new application, Gateway Setup Assistant, automates
the configuration of a simple gateway between the local network and the Internet.
A gateway lets you share the server’s Internet connection among computers on the
local area network (LAN). Gateway Setup Assistant configures Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT), firewall, DNS, and
VPN services automatically.
 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate management. Server Admin makes it easy to
manage SSL certificates that can be used by mail, web, Open Directory, and other
services that support them. You can create a self-signed certificate, and generate a
Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to obtain an SSL certificate from an issuing
authority and install the certificate.
