Setting Up Shared Users and Groups
If you’ve installed AppleShare IP on multiple servers and you want to administer user and
group information from one server, you can set up secondary servers to get the latest user
and group information from a primary server.
Note: You need to purchase a copy of AppleShare IP for each computer on which you plan
to install services ( Web, file, print, and mail services). See your license agreement for more
information.
You can share user and group information with up to 11 servers (one primary and ten
secondary servers). AppleShare IP uses encryption to share user and group information
among servers. See AppleShare IP Help for instructions on configuring users and groups on
primary and secondary servers.
Creating Share Points
If you plan to provide AppleShare or Windows file sharing or FTP services, you need to set
up a share point and assign it access privileges. A share point is a disk, CD-ROM disc, or
folder that is made available to users on a network.
If you upgraded from a previous version of AppleShare or Macintosh file sharing, the share
points you created are still available.
For each share point you want to create, follow these steps:
1
Open Mac OS Server Admin.
2
If the file server is not running, press the File Services button and choose Start File Server.
To create share points and set privileges, the file server must be running. If you need to, wait
for file services to start up before you continue.
3
Press the Privileges button and choose Set Privileges.
4
Locate the disk or item you want to share, then click Choose.
Important
If you’re planning to turn on FTP or Windows file sharing services, make sure
the names of shared hard disks and folders contain fewer than 13 characters and no spaces
or Option key characters. If you need to change the names of any share points in the Finder,
do so now.
