Verifying Login Information Using Kerberos
If all users must authenticate using Kerberos, follow the steps below. For more information
about using Kerberos, see “Using Kerberos” on page 197.
To use Kerberos verification:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Global, and then click Security.
2 Select “Clients must authenticate using Kerberos” and click Save.
Preventing Users From Changing Their Passwords
Ordinarily, all users can change the passwords assigned to them. If you don’t want users to
change their own passwords, you can remove that privilege.
To keep users from changing their passwords:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Global, and then click Security.
2 If “Users can change their passwords” is selected, deselect it.
3 Click Save.
Allowing Administrators to Access User Accounts
You can allow a system administrator to log in as any user. The user can enter the user name
for the account he or she wants to access and use the appropriate administrator password.
To allow administrators to log in as other users:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Global, and then click Security.
2 Select “Users may log in using a server administrator’s password.”
3 Click Save.
Copying Preferences for Mac OS 8 Computers
Users on Mac OS 8 computers can make changes to preferences while they are logged in (for
example, they can change the desktop picture). However, when users log out, their
preferences are saved only if you allow them to be saved. Macintosh Manager provides two
ways to control how preferences are copied for Mac OS 8 users.
m If you want to save all preference changes for each user, you can copy the entire
Preferences folder. Macintosh Manager will copy every item in the folder, regardless of
what it is or how big it is. Copying unnecessary or large items can increase login and
logout times for Mac OS 8 clients. For more information, see “Preserved Preferences” on
page 468.
