Step 4: Access the home directory
The home directory is now mounted and visible on the user’s computer in the Mac OS X
Finder, and login is complete. The home directory appears under the name of the Mac OS X
Server in the Servers directory of the Network Globe. In this example, the home directory
appears under /Network/Servers/bigmac/Homes.
Setting Up Active Directory for Login Authentication and Home Directory
Access
Here is the general procedure for setting up Active Directory to provide authentication
information for Mac OS X login and to provide authentication and access information for
home directories stored on a Mac OS X Server.
To integrate Mac OS X login and home directories with an Active Directory
domain:
1 Set up the Windows server to make sure Active Directory contains the necessary user
account and mount data.
You may need to install the Schema Manager on the Windows server. You may also need to
use the Schema Manager to modify the schema so that it includes classes and attributes
needed by Mac OS X. For instructions on these tasks, see the online help on the Windows
server or see the document “Step-by-Step Guide to Using Active Directory Schema and
Display Specifiers” in the Windows 2000 Step-by-Step Guides section of the Technical
Resources area of the Windows 2000 Web site. This document may be available at the
