108 Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup
The directory server storing the setup record needs to be running. DHCP needs to be
configured to identify the directory server to the target servers using Option 95. In
addition, you may need to have DNS configured if your directory data includes DNS
names.
See “Defining Server Setup Infrastructure Requirements” on page 46 for some
additional infrastructure information. The Open Directory and network services
administration guides provide instructions for setting up directories and DHCP.
15 If the setup data is encrypted, make the passphrase available to the target server or
servers. You can supply the passphrase interactively, using Server Assistant, or you
provide it in a text file.
To provide the passphrase in a file, use step 16. To provide it interactively, use step 17.
16 To provide a passphrase in a file, create a new text file and type the passphrase for the
saved setup file on the first line. Save the file using one of the following names; target
servers search for names in the order listed:
<MAC-address-of-server>.pass (include any leading zeros but omit colons). For
example, 0030654dbcef.pass.
<IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.0.4.pass.
<partial-DNS-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.pass.
<built-in-hardware-serial-number-of-server>.pass (first 8 characters only). For example,
ABCD1234.pass.
<fully-qualified-DNS-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.example.com.pass.
<partial-IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.pass (matches 10.0.0.4 and
10.0.1.2).
generic.pass (a file that any server will recognize).
