86 Chapter 7 Managing Directory Access
Enabling or Disabling Rendezvous Service Discovery
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the discovery of some Rendezvous
network services. For example, disabling Rendezvous in Directory Access prevents
Rendezvous-enabled file servers from appearing in the Network globe in the Finder.
But disabling Rendezvous in Directory Access does not prevent Rendezvous-enabled
printers from appearing in the Printer Setup Utility or prevent iTunes from using
Rendezvous for music sharing. Rendezvous is an Apple protocol for discovering file,
print, and other services on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
To enable or disable Rendezvous 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 Rendezvous and click Apply.
Rendezvous does not require configuration.
Enabling or Disabling SLP Service Discovery
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the discovery of services that use
Service Location Protocol (SLP) to make themselves known on the network. SLP is an
open standard for discovering file and print services on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
To enable or disable SLP 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 SLP and click Apply.
SLP does not require configuration.
Enabling or Disabling SMB Service Discovery
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable the discovery of services that use
Server Message Block (SMB) to make themselves known on the network. SMB is a
protocol used by Microsoft Windows for file and print services.
To enable or disable SMB 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 SMB and click Apply.
For configuration instructions, see “Configuring SMB Service Discovery” on page 87.
