Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 161)

Users and Groups 161
To create an advanced AFP home directory using Workgroup Manager:
1 In Workgroup Manager, open the account you want to work with if it is not already open.
To open an account, click the Accounts button, then use the At pop-up menu to open the
directory domain where the user’s account resides. To edit the home directory information,
click the lock to be authenticated, then select the user in the user list.
2 Make sure that share point for the home directory exists. To set up the share point, conduct
steps 3 through 7. To use a share point that is already correctly set up, skip to step 8.
If you want network home directories for admin users, put them on a separate drive or
partition, and make that drive or partition a share point. Regular users see share points that
administrators set up, but administrators see only volumes as share points.
Because of the way home directory disk quotas work, you may want to set up home
directory share points on a partition different from other share points. See “Setting Disk
Quotas” on page 166 for more information.
3 On the server where you want the home directory to reside, create a folder to use as the
share point if required.
If you want the home directory to reside beneath a folder under the share point, also create
all the folders in the path between the share point and where the home directory will reside.
4 In Workgroup Manager, connect to the server where the folder(s) reside and click Sharing to
set up the folder as an AFP share point.
Use the All tab to select the folder.
Use the General tab to set up sharing settings. Click “Share this item and its contents.”
Specify the share point owner and group names by typing names into those fields or by
dragging names from the drawer that opens when you click Users & Groups.
Use the pop-up menus next to the fields to specify privileges. For the owner, select Read &
Write. For Group and Everyone, select Read Only.
Click Save.
5 Set up guest access to the share point so that users with home directories on different
servers are able to access the home directory using the ~
shortcut.
Use the Server Settings application to enable guest access for AFP. On the File & Print tab,
click Apple and select Configure Apple File Service. On the Access tab, make sure that there
is a check in the “Enable Guest access” box.
Use Workgroup Manager to enable guest access for the share point. Click the Protocols tab
and make sure that “Apple File Settings, ” “Share this item using AFP,” and “Allow AFP guest
access” are selected.
