See “Setting Up Servers Automatically Using Data Saved in a Directory” on page 105 for
instructions.
Using Encryption
By default, saved setup data is encrypted for extra security. Before any server sets itself
up using encrypted data, it must have access to the passphrase used when the data
was encrypted.
The passphrase can be provided either interactively (using Server Assistant) or in a file
on a local volume of the target server. For example, you can store the file with the
passphrase on an iPod, then plug the iPod into each server that needs the passphrase.
A server with the IP address 10.0.0.4 would use /Volumes/MyIPod/Auto Server Setup/
10.0.0.4.pass.
Setting Up Services
After initial server setup is complete, you can:
 Migrate data and settings from a previous server. See the upgrading and migrating
guide for instructions.
 Set up individual services you want to provide. Consult the administration guides for
individual services for service-specific options. When you set up services, you’ll use
the server administration tools described in Chapter 5, “Server Administration,” on
page 119.
