Customizing Group Directory Settings
When you need more control over group directory settings than the network group
directory option provides, you can use Workgroup Manager to customize group directory
settings. The group whose directory you want to customize must be defined in a NetInfo or
LDAPv3 directory domain.
For example, you may want to organize group directories as several folders within a share
point. If LanguageGroups is a group directory share point, you may want to place the group
directory for English students in LanguageGroups/English and for French students in
LanguageGroups/French.
To customize group settings:
1 In Workgroup Manager, open the account you want to work with if it is not already open.
To open an account, click the Account button, then use the At pop-up menu to open the
directory domain where the group account resides. To edit the group directory information,
click the lock to be authenticated, then select the group in the group list.
2 Click the Volumes tab, then select Advanced.
3 In the URL field, enter the full URL to the group directory’s share point.
For example, enter “SMB://ntserver.com/macgroups” to identify an SMB share point named
“macgroups” on a server whose domain name is “ntserver.com”. The share point must
already exist on the server.
4 In the Path field, enter the path from the share point to the group directory
For example, if the share point is GroupDirs and the full path to the group directory is
GroupDirs/Teachers/Primary/, enter Teachers/Primary in the Path field. These directories
must already exist.
5 In the Owner Name field, enter the name of the user you want to own the group directory so
he or she can act as group directory administrator. Click Users to choose an owner from a list
of users in the current directory domain.
6 Optionally check one of the boxes that automate visibility of the group directory for group
members when they log in to a Mac OS X computer.
Check “Show group documents” to automatically display the group directory in the Dock.
Check “Mount group volume at startup” to automatically display the group directory in
the Finder.
