Chapter 3
Step 4:
Configure server search policies so servers can find user and
group accounts
Make sure that the search policy of any server that needs to access user and group
information to provide services for particular users is configured to do so. Chapter 2,
“Directory Services,” tells you how to set up search policies.
Step 5:
Create users
You can use Workgroup Manager to create user accounts in directory domains that reside on
Mac OS X Server and in non-Apple LDAPv3 directory domains that have been configured for
write access. See these sections for instructions:
m “Creating User Accounts in Directory Domains on Mac OS X Server” on page 134 and
“Creating Read-Write LDAPv3 User Accounts” on page 135
m “Shortcuts for Working With Users and Groups” on page 178
m “Importing and Exporting User and Group Information” on page 181
For working with read-only user accounts, see “Working With Read-Only User Accounts” on
page 136.
For details about all the settings for a user account, see “Working With Basic Settings for
Users” on page 136 through “Working With Managed Users” on page 151.
For details about setting up managed users, see Chapter 6, “Client Management: Mac OS X,”
and Chapter 10, “Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8.” When you use managed users,
creating users in a network directory domain is optional. All users can be locally defined on
client computers.
Step 6:
Create groups
You can use Workgroup Manager to create group accounts in directory domains that reside
on Mac OS X Server and in non-Apple LDAPv3 directory domains that have been configured
for write access. See these sections for instructions:
m “Creating Group Accounts in a Directory Domain on Mac OS X Server” on page 167 and
“Creating Read-Write LDAPv3 Group Accounts” on page 168
m “Shortcuts for Working With Users and Groups” on page 178
m “Importing and Exporting User and Group Information” on page 181
For working with read-only group accounts, see “Working With Read-Only Group Accounts”
on page 169.
