Setting Up AFP Service
If you enabled the Server Assistant to start AFP service when you installed Mac OS X
Server, you don’t need to do anything else. Verify that the default service settings meet
your needs.
There are four groups of settings on the Settings pane for AFP service in Server Admin:
 General. Sets information that identies your server, enables automatic startup, and
creates a login message for AFP service.
 Access. Sets up client connections and guest access.
 Logging. Congures and manages logs for AFP service.
 Idle Users. Congures and administers idle user settings.
The following sections describe how to congure these settings and how to start AFP
service when you nish.
Conguring AFP Service General Settings
Use the General settings pane in AFP service to enable automatic startup, enable
browsing with Bonjour, and create a login greeting for your users.
To congure AFP service General settings:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2 Click the triangle at the left of the server.
The list of services appears.
3 From the expanded Servers list, select AFP.
4 Click Settings, then click General.
5 If you have Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 clients with special language needs, choose the
correct character set from the “Encoding for older clients” pop-up menu.
When Mac OS 9 (or earlier) clients are connected, the server converts le names
from the system’s UTF-8 character encoding to the chosen set. This has no eect on
Mac OS X client users.
