84 Chapter 7 Managing Directory Access
Enabling or Disabling Active Directory Service
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the use of Active Directory on a
Windows server. Active Directory is the directory service of Windows 2000 and 2003
servers.
To enable or disable access to Active Directory:
1 In Directory Access, click Services.
2 If the lock icon is locked, click it and type the name and password of an administrator.
3 Click the checkbox next to Active Directory and click Apply.
For configuration instructions, see “Accessing LDAP Directories” on page 90.
Enabling or Disabling AppleTalk Service Discovery
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the discovery of AppleTalk network
services. AppleTalk is a legacy Mac OS protocol for network file and print services. Some
computers use AppleTalk to share files, and some servers use AppleTalk for file service.
In addition, some shared printers use AppleTalk.
To enable or disable AppleTalk service discovery:
1 In Directory Access, click Services.
2 If the lock icon is locked, click it and type the name and password of an administrator.
3 Click the checkbox next to AppleTalk and click Apply.
AppleTalk does not require configuration.
Enabling or Disabling BSD Flat File and NIS Directory Services
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the use of BSD configuration files
and access to Network Information Service (NIS) directory services. BSD configuration
files are the original method for accessing administrative data on UNIX computers, and
some organizations still use them. Some UNIX servers use NIS to provide directory
services.
To enable or disable BSD flat file and NIS directory services:
1 In Directory Access, click Services.
2 If the lock icon is locked, click it and type the name and password of an administrator.
3 Click the checkbox next to “BSD Flat File and NIS” and click Apply.
For configuration instructions, see “Accessing an NIS Domain” on page 107 and “Using
BSD Configuration Files” on page 108.
