92 Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup
You can set up a server to connect to a shared NetInfo directory on Mac OS X Server
version 10.0 and later or an LDAP directory on version 10.2 or version 10.3. However,
you may not be able to take advantage of some features:
 VPN service on version 10.3 or later requires MS-CHAP2 authentication, which isn’t
available with version 10.2 and earlier.
 Replication isn’t supported by version 10.2 or earlier.
 Kerberos configuration is much more complex on version 10.2. In addition, automatic
synchronization of Kerberos and Password Server requires version 10.3 or later.
 On version 10.3 and earlier, trusted directory binding, support for LDAP subdomains,
and directory access controls aren’t available.
Connecting to the Network During Initial Server Setup
Try to place a server in its final network location (subnet) before setting it up for the
first time. If you’re concerned about preventing unauthorized or premature access
during setup, you can set up a firewall to protect the server while you’re finalizing its
configuration.
If you can’t avoid moving a server after initial setup, you must change settings that are
sensitive to network location before it can be used. For example, the server’s IP address
and host name, stored in both directories and configuration files on the server, must be
updated. See “Changing the Server’s Host Name After Setup” on page 50 for more
information.
