Chapter 1 Introducing Mac OS X Server 19
Content indexing happens automatically and transparently on the server. No
configuration of the server or users’ Macs is necessary.
For security, Spotlight Server works with the file access controls and permissions of
Mac OS X Server. A user’s search lists only items to which the user has access, ensuring
that secrets stay secret. So everyone in a group can store files on the server. Group
members can easily find shared files, but outsiders can’t find them.
UNIX Compliance
Leopard Server is an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, conforming to the SUSv3
and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads. Leopard
Server can compile and run all your UNIX 03-compliant code, so it can be deployed in
environments that demand full conformance. Mac OS X Server also provides full
compatibility with your server and application software.
64-Bit Computing
For the first time in Leopard Server, key server software components take advantage of
64-bit computing to achieve higher performance and processing power and to work
with larger data sets. Leopard Server runs 64-bit applications alongside 32-bit
applications, optimized for each.
