Integrating Active Directory and AFP Service
You can congure AFP service to use Active Directory for authenticating and
authorizing Mac users to an AFP share point.
If you have a mixed platform environment with Windows and Mac computers you
can integrate a Mac OS X AFP server with your Windows Active Directory server. Mac
users can access the AFP share point by using their Active Directory user account
credentials.
To integrate AFP with Active Directory:
1 Create an AFP share point for your Mac users.
For more information, see “Creating a Share Point” on page 36.
2 Open System Preferences (located in /Applications/).
3 Click Accounts.
4 If the lock icon is locked, click it and enter the name and password for an administrator.
5 Click Login Options.
6 Click Directory Services, then click the Add (+) button.
7 From the “Add a new directory of type” pop-up menu, choose Active Directory, then
enter the following information:
 Active Directory Domain: This is the DNS name or IP address of the Active Directory
server.
 Client Computer ID: Optionally edit the ID you want Active Directory to use for your
server. This is the server’s NetBIOS name. The name should contain no more than
15 characters, no special characters, and no punctuation.
