1 Introducing Mac OS X Server 1 Mac OS X Server has everything you need to provide standards-based workgroup and Internet services, making it ideal for education, small businesses, and large enterprises. Mac OS X Server version 10.5 Leopard blends a mature, stable UNIX foundation with open standards and Macintosh ease of use. It provides an extensive array of services that support Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX client computers over a network.
What’s New in Leopard Server Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard offers major enhancements in several key areas:  Simple setup  Server Preferences and Server Status  iCal Server  Group services with wikis and blogs  Directory application  Podcast Producer  Spotlight Server  UNIX compliance and 64-bit computing Leopard Server also has significant performance and scalability improvements for key services, such as file sharing and mail services, compared to earlier versions.
Simple Setup Using Mac OS X Server is easier than ever. Server Assistant eliminates the complexities of configuring a server. It walks you through the setup process and the configuration of essential services. It automatically configures your AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n) and runs a built-in network health check to verify local network and Internet connectivity. In a few clicks, Leopard Server readies file sharing, email, group websites, instant messaging, personal calendars, and remote access.
Users can quickly and easily set up Macs with Mac OS X Leopard to get services from the server. They click a button in an invitation email or open the Directory Utility application to open an assistant that connects to the server and sets up applications to use its services. In no time, Mail, iChat, iCal, and a VPN network connection are all ready to use. iChat users see other users in their iChat buddy lists. Mail users are ready to send email to anyone in their group.
Server Preferences and Server Status Leopard Server is even easier to keep running. Need to change something? With Server Preferences, you can quickly manage users, groups, services, and system information. You can use Server Preferences on the server, or use it on another Mac to manage your server over the network. Find the setting you need without knowing its exact location To monitor server performance and services, you can check graphs and statistics with the Server Status Dashboard widget.
iCal Server iCal Server makes it easy to share calendars, schedule meetings, and coordinate events within a workgroup, a small business, or a large organization. Colleagues can check each other’s availability, propose and accept meetings, book conference rooms, reserve projectors, and more. iCal Server sends meeting invitations with agendas or to-do lists, and tabulates replies.
Group Services with Wikis and Blogs Leopard Server includes a wiki service that makes it easy for groups to create and distribute information through their own shared intranet websites. All members of a group can easily view, search, and edit wiki content in their web browsers. By using included templates, or by creating their own, they can add, delete, edit, and format content naturally—without knowing markup codes or special syntax.
Directory The Directory application gives users access to shared information about people, groups, locations, and resources within the organization. Users can share contacts, add groups, set up group services, and manage their own contact information.
Podcast Producer A video camera, a Mac, and Leopard Server are all you need to produce podcasts of lectures, training, or any other audio and video projects. Podcast Producer automates video and audio capture, encoding, and delivery. The Podcast Capture application installed on every Mac with Leopard allows users to record high-quality audio and video from a FireWire camera, USB microphone, iSight, or other supported device attached to a local or remote Mac.
In addition to recording audio and video, you can use Podcast Capture to record screen activity (for example a Keynote presentation) along with audio from a local or remote source. You can also use Podcast Capture to share QuickTime movies with others. Anyone with an Internet connection and authorization to use Podcast Capture can start the whole process. Simply log in to Podcast Capture, make a few selections, and click a button to start recording.
Content indexing happens automatically and transparently on the server. No configuration of the server or users’ Macs is necessary. For security, Spotlight Server works with the file access controls and permissions of Mac OS X Server. A user’s search lists only items to which the user has access, ensuring that secrets stay secret. So everyone in a group can store files on the server. Group members can easily find shared files, but outsiders can’t find them.
Server Configurations Leopard Server offers several options for setting up your server to suit your circumstances.
Reasons to choose Standard Set up the first server or only server for a small organization % Have all services set up automatically % Workgroup Have only selected services set up automatically % Use existing user accounts from your organization’s directory server % Use one simple application, Server Preferences, to manage essential settings for user accounts, groups, and services % % Have Leopard users’ Macs automatically set up to use the server % % Need no server administration experience
Leopard Server in Action The following illustration shows a standard configuration of Mac OS X Server in a small organization. The server connects to a local network together with some users’ computers. Other users’ computers connect to the local network wirelessly through an AirPort Extreme Base Station. The AirPort Extreme connects to the Internet through a DSL modem or cable modem and shares the Internet connection with the server and users’ computers.

Leopard Server in a Workgroup The next illustration depicts a workgroup configuration of Mac OS X Server that serves a department in a large organization. This organization has an IT group that provides DHCP service for assigning network addresses, DNS name service, mail service, Internet access, and a VPN. Everyone in the department already has a user account provided by the organization’s Open Directory server, so these user accounts have been imported to the workgroup server.

2 Installing Mac OS X Server 2 Use the Installer to install Leopard Server locally, or use Server Assistant to install remotely. To get started you need to:  Make sure the target server meets system requirements  Connect the target server to your Ethernet network  Use the Installation & Setup Worksheet to collect information you’ll need (it’s in the Documentation folder on the Mac OS X Server Install Disc)  Install Mac OS X Server version 10.
What You Need to Install Leopard Server To install Leopard Server, you need a Macintosh desktop computer or server with:  An Intel processor or PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor  At least 1 gigabyte (GB) of random access memory (RAM)  At least 20 gigabytes (GB) of disk space available  An active connection to a secure Ethernet network A standard or workgroup server needs significantly more disk space—such as a high capacity external hard drive—if you want to back up the server using Time Ma
Installing Mac OS X Server Securely When you start up a computer from the Mac OS X Server Install Disc, SSH remote login service and VNC screen sharing service start automatically in order to make remote installation possible. Important: Make sure the network is secure before you install or reinstall Mac OS X Server, because SSH and VNC give others access to the computer over the network. For example, set up your local network so that only users you trust can access it.
Installing Locally You can install Mac OS X Server directly onto the target server by starting up the server from the Mac OS X Server Install Disc. The Installer application guides you through the interactive installation process. The target server must have a display attached so you can interact with the Installer.
4 Open the Install Mac OS X Server application and click the Restart button. The application is in the Mac OS X Server Install Disc window. If you see an Install button instead of a Restart button in the lower-right corner of the application window, click Install and proceed through the Installer panes by following the onscreen instructions (skip steps 5 through 8 below). When installation is complete, restart the server. Server Assistant opens so you can set up the server.
Preparing an Administrator Computer You can use an administrator computer to install Mac OS X Server on another computer over the network. As illustrated below, you start up the server using the Mac OS X Server Install Disc and use Server Assistant application the administrator computer to perform remote installation. The target server doesn’t need a display.
To set up an administrator computer: 1 Make sure the Mac OS X computer has Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard installed. 2 Insert the Administration Tools disc. 3 Open the Installers folder. 4 Double-click ServerAdministrationSoftware.mpkg to open the Installer, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Installing Remotely Using Server Assistant on an administrator computer, you can install Mac OS X Server on another computer over the network.
To install Mac OS X Server remotely: 1 If you’re planning to erase the target disk or partition, make sure you have a backup of it, and optionally use Disk Utility to prepare the target disk. If you only need to erase the target disk using the most common format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you don’t need to use Disk Utility. With Disk Utility, you can erase the target disk using other formats, partition the server’s hard disk, or create a RAID set.
For servers that Server Assistant finds on the local network (IP subnet), the IP address may be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on the network. If no DHCP server exists, the target server uses a 169.254.xxx.xxx address unique among servers on the local network. Later, when you set up the server, you can change the IP address. If the server you want isn’t listed, you can click Refresh List to have Server Assistant look again for servers that are ready for installation on your local network.
8 If the volume you selected already has Mac OS X Server or Mac OS X installed, select an available option and then click OK. The options may include: Â Erase using Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, then install: Completely erases the destination volume before installing a new copy of Mac OS X Server. Â Upgrade Mac OS X Server: This option is available only if the target volume has the latest update of Mac OS X Server v10.4 Tiger or has Mac OS X Server v10.3.9 Panther.
3 Setting Up Mac OS X Server 3 Server Assistant leads you through setting up your server for the first time. Server Assistant opens automatically when you: Â Finish installing Mac OS X Server version 10.
Setting Up a Server Locally You can set up a new server or a computer with Mac OS X Server newly installed by using the server’s keyboard, mouse, and display. To set up a server locally: 1 Prepare for setup by filling out a printed copy of the Installation & Setup Worksheet. The Installation & Setup Worksheet is located on the Mac OS X Server Install Disc in the Documentation folder.
For information about settings in a Server Assistant pane, click the Help button in the pane. When server setup is complete, you can: Â Take a few additional steps to keep your server secure. For information, see “Keeping Your Server Secure” and “Protecting the System Administrator (root) Account,” next. Â Use Software Update to install any available Mac OS X Server updates. For information, see “Keeping Leopard Server Up to Date” on page 54.
Protecting the System Administrator (root) Account The administrator password you enter during setup is also used for the server’s System Administrator user account, whose short name is root. The System Administrator (root) account can move or delete any file in the system, including system files not available to a server administrator account or any other user account. You don’t need root user privileges to administer your server.
2 If you have DHCP or DNS service provided by your ISP, Internet router, or other servers on you network, make sure they are set up for your new server and are running. 3 If you want to set up your server as an Internet gateway, so the server shares an Internet connection with other computers on your network, make sure of the following: Â One Ethernet port, or interface, connects to your DSL modem, cable modem, or other Internet source.
If the server isn’t listed, click Refresh List to have Server Assistant look again for servers that are ready to set up on your local network (IP subnet). If the server you want is on a different local network, click the Add (+) button and enter its IP address or DNS name. The preset password consists of the first 8 characters of the computer’s built-in hardware serial number, which is located on a label on the computer. Match the capitalization of the serial number when you type it.
4 Managing Your Server 4 Use the Server Status widget, Server Preferences, Time Machine, and Software Update to check status, change settings, back up and restore, and update server software. Check status with Server Preferences or the Server Status widget. Find and change server settings with Server Preferences. Use Server Preferences and the Server Status widget on the server itself or over the network from any Mac with Leopard.
When you open Server Preferences, individual preferences are grouped in the categories described below. Â Accounts: Manage users and groups. Â Services: Customize settings for file sharing, iCal calendar service, iChat instant messaging service, mail service, web services, and VPN remote access service. Â System: Check server information, service logs, graphs of server activity, and firewall settings. To manage a standard or workgroup server: 1 Open Server Preferences.
Using the Server Status Widget You can use the Server Status widget to monitor the status of Mac OS X Server either on the server itself or from another computer with Mac OS X Server or Mac OS X. To use the Server Status widget: 1 Open Dashboard, click its Open (+) button, and then click or drag the Server Status widget from the widget bar. You can open Dashboard by clicking its icon in the Dock or pressing its keyboard shortcut, which is usually the F12 key.
If your server has more than one disk, you can see the status of each disk in turn by clicking the disk usage graph. Check the status indicator and current number of connections for the listed services. A green indicator means the service is running. Open the Server Preferences pane for a listed service by clicking the service in the widget. Connect to a different server by moving the mouse to the upper left corner of the widget and clicking the small Info (i) button.
Finding Settings in Server Preferences Server Preferences contains dozens of settings you can change to customize your computer. You can quickly search Server Preferences to find the specific setting you want. To find settings in Server Preferences: 1 Open Server Preferences. 2 In the search box, type a word or phrase that describes what you want to change. For example, if you want to add members to a group, type “group members.
2 Enter the remote server’s DNS name or IP address and the name and password of an administrator account on the remote server. When Server Preferences is connected to a remote server, the server’s name or IP address is displayed in the title bar of the Server Preferences window. To reconnect to a server you have connected to recently, choose Connection > Open Recent Connection, and then choose the server you want.
Backing Up and Restoring the Server You can back up server files automatically using Time Machine. It’s a comprehensive backup solution for the system. It automatically makes a complete backup of all files on the system to either a locally attached external hard drive or a remote network file system. It also keeps track as files are created, updated, or deleted over time. Time Machine backs up the changes and creates a history of the file system that you can navigate by date.
Keeping Leopard Server Up to Date When your server is connected to the Internet, Software Update can automatically get the latest free Leopard Server version, security updates, and other enhancements from Apple. Your server is set to check automatically for updates once a week, but you can set it to check daily or monthly. You can also check now. To check for updates or adjust automatic updating: 1 Open System Preferences. 2 Click the Software Update Icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
5 Managing Users 5 Create or import user accounts, change their settings, or delete them in the Users pane of Server Preferences. In the Users pane, you set up accounts for people who use the services that this server provides, and you control which services they can access. You can update their contact information and change their group memberships. You can also edit the email messages that can be sent to new users.
About User Accounts User accounts on your server allow users to gain access to services provided by the server. A user account contains the information needed to prove the user’s identity for all services that require authentication. A user account also provides a centralized place to store a user’s contact information and other data. Each user account can provide an email address, iChat instant messaging address, personal calendar, and VPN remote access to your server.
You can use Server Preferences to edit user accounts created on your server. Users can also edit their own accounts using the Directory application. If your server has imported user accounts, you can use Server Preferences to edit an account’s supplemental information in your server’s directory, but not the account information in your organization’s directory. An administrator of that directory can edit its account information using tools for the directory server.
The following table summarizes the key differences between server accounts, imported accounts, and local accounts.
Your server has two administrator accounts after you finish the initial setup process described in Chapter 3. The primary administrator account is the one whose name and password you entered while setting up the server. The other administrator account also has the password you entered, but its name is Local Administrator, and its short name is localadmin. The table below summarizes their similarities and differences.
When you create a new user account, you specify whether the user is an administrator or a standard user. You can also make an imported user account a server administrator. If you don’t want a user to be able to use Server Preferences or install software on the server, don’t make the user an administrator. To keep your computer secure, don’t share an administrator name and password with anyone.
To add a new user account: 1 Click the Add (+) button in the Users pane of Server Preferences. 2 If you see a pop-up menu, choose one of the commands: Import User From Directory: You can import users’ existing accounts from your organization’s directory server. For information about doing this, see “Importing Users” on page 62. Create New User: You generally add new users from your organization’s directory server if possible, but you can also create new user accounts in your server’s directory.
5 Enter the user’s password in the Password and Verify fields. You can use Password Assistant to help you choose a new password. Click the Key button to the right of the Password field to see how secure the new password is. 6 Select “Allow user to administer this computer” if this user account needs to create other user accounts, create groups, install software on the server, or change server settings.
If your organization doesn’t have a directory server (apart from your server), you can create new user accounts. For information about creating new user accounts, see “Adding a User Account” on page 60. 3 Select a user account from the list of accounts on your organization’s directory server, optionally select “Send imported users an email invitation,” and then click Import. 4 When you’re finished importing user accounts, click Done.
Your server gives each imported user account a separate iChat address and personal calendar. Imported user accounts can also have access to the server’s shared files and shared websites. If your server’s mail service and VPN service are turned on, imported user accounts get email addresses and can use VPN to access the server remotely. Access to each service is subject to the service being turned on, and you can separately control each imported user account’s access to services.
3 Change the list on the right so it contains the groups whose members you want to import automatically. Add an available group by selecting it in the list on the left and clicking Add. Remove a group to import by selecting it in the list on the right and clicking Remove. 4 Optionally select “Send new imported users an email invitation.” 5 When you’re satisfied with the list of groups to import, click Save.
Changing a User’s Account Settings Change a user’s name, password, picture, or administrator privilege by clicking Account in the Users pane of Server Preferences.
To change account settings for a user: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select the user account you want to change in the list on the left. 2 Click Account, and then change any available setting, using the following information as a guide: Name: Enter the user’s name. It can be used with the password to authenticate for services. Short Name: This is an abbreviation of the user’s name. It’s used for the user’s email and iChat addresses.
Changing a User’s Contact Info Change a user’s first and last names, address, email and chat addresses, website address, and blog address by clicking Contact Info in the Users pane of Server Preferences.
To change contact information for a user: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select the user account you want to change in the list on the left. 2 Click Contact Info, and then change any available setting, using the following information as a guide: Name: The user’s first name and last name. Address: The user’s postal address. Contact: The user’s instant messaging addresses and email addresses. Â To add an address, click the Add (+) button.
To change service access settings for a user: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select the user account you want to control in the list on the left. 2 Click Services, and then select the services that you want to let the user access. Deselect the services you don’t want the user to access. Changing a User’s Group Membership Make a user a member of a group or remove a user from a group by clicking Groups in the Users pane.
To change group membership for a user: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select the user account you want to change in the list on the left. 2 Click Groups, and then click Edit Membership. 3 Select the checkbox next to each group you want the user to be a member of. Deselect the checkbox next to each group you don’t want the user to be a member of. 4 When you finish making changes, click Edit Membership again to display a static list of groups that the user belongs to.
You can use Password Assistant to help you choose a new password. Click the Key button to the right of the New Password field to see how secure the new password is. Users with Leopard can change their name and password using the Directory application. Users can change their passwords when authenticating for file sharing.
Changing a User’s Picture You can use Server Preferences to change the picture for a standard user account or an administrator account. If your server has imported user accounts or user accounts imported automatically from groups, you can change their pictures unless the pictures were set on your organization’s directory server. To change the picture for a user account: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select a user account you want to change in the list on the left, and then click Account.
Users with Leopard can change their own pictures using the Directory application. For information, see “Working with Directory Information on Leopard Users’ Macs” on page 90. Customizing the Welcome Email You can use Server Preferences to add your name, email address, and a personal introduction to the standard email message that your server sends to tell new users about its services.
Users receive the welcome email when they start using their email accounts. They see your name and message in a boxed section set apart from the standard message text that the server generates. Customizing the Server Invitation Email You can use Server Preferences to add your name, email address, and a personal introduction to the standard email message that your server can send to tell newly imported users how to get its services.
You can use the message to introduce yourself, so recipients know the email is genuine. Example: Hi, I’m the administrator for our server, myserver.example.com. If you need help setting up your computer to get services from it, please don’t hesitate to send me an email or call me at 310-555-4357. —Bill Recipients see your name and message in a boxed section set apart from the standard message text that the server generates.
To customize the email sent to new external members of a group: 1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, click the Action (gear) button and choose “Email Message Settings” from the pop-up menu. 2 Enter the sender’s name and email address in the Admin Full Name and Admin Email fields. 3 Optionally enter a personal message in the Group Invitation field. If you don’t see the Group Invitation field, your server isn’t connected to a directory server. See “Connecting to a Directory Server” on page 135.
6 Managing Users’ Computers 6 Learn how to help users set up their computers to use the services you server provides. Users need to set up their computers to get services from your server. Users with Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard can have their computers set up automatically. Users with earlier Mac OS X versions or Windows need to set up their computers manually.

If the user changes the password in the Accounts pane of System Preferences, the server account password will change to match. If a user’s accounts were created with different user names, the user can change the long name of the local account by using the Accounts pane of System Preferences. The user can also use the Directory application to change the long name of the server account. For information about local, server, and imported user accounts, see “About User Accounts” on page 56.
Setting Up Services for New Leopard Users During initial setup of a new Mac or a Mac with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard newly installed, the “Connect to Mac OS X Server” pane lets the user choose your server if it has a standard configuration of Leopard Server and the user has an account on it. (A server is a standard configuration if it doesn’t have imported user accounts and isn’t connected to a directory server.
This pane appears only if the Mac detects a standard configuration of Leopard Server on the network. This pane doesn’t allow a user to choose a workgroup configuration of Leopard Server. (A server is a workgroup configuration if it’s connected to a directory server. See “Connecting to a Directory Server” on page 136.) If the user completes this pane: Â A local user account is created on the user’s Mac based on the specified account on the server.
Setting Up Leopard Users with an Invitation Email If some users already have Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard set up and you import their user accounts from a directory server, you can have an email sent inviting them to join the server. Leopard users can click a button in the invitation email to begin using an assistant that connects their computers to the server and sets up their applications to get its services. For information about the assistant, see “Setting Up a Mac by Using Directory Utility,” next.
Setting Up a Mac by Using Directory Utility If a Mac with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard isn’t connected to a server yet, and Leopard detects your server on the network, Directory Utility opens automatically. It displays an assistant that connects the Mac to the server and sets up applications to use its services. The user can also open Directory Utility manually, and it will display the assistant if it detects your server.
 The user enters the name and password of the user account on the server and the password of the local user account that’s currently logged in on the user’s computer. The password of the server account changes to the password of the local account. The user’s home folder remains on the user’s computer.  The user chooses whether to have applications set up to get services from the server. For information about how the applications get services, see “Setting Up Leopard Users’ Macs Automatically” on page 79.
Application Settings Mail (Email application) Account type: IMAP or POP Incoming mail server: myserver.example.com Outgoing mail server: myserver.example.com Email address: usershortname@myserver.example.com Authentication: Kerberos v5 preferred iCal (CalDAV calendar application) Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/ principals/users/usershortname If the calendar application supports SSL, subscribe to: https://myserver.example.
Using a VPN Configuration File If you got a VPN configuration file from the person who manages your server, and you have Mac OS X version 10.3 or later, you can use the file to set up your computer for making VPN connections to the server. The configuration file contains all the information necessary to make a VPN connection to the server, except the name and password of your user account on the server.
Setting Up a User’s VPN Connection Manually Users may be unable to import VPN settings from a configuration file because they don’t have the file or they have Windows computers, which can’t use the file. These users can manually set up their computers for a VPN connection to your server.
Working with Directory Information on Leopard Users’ Macs Users who have Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard can use the Directory application to view shared information about people, groups, locations, and resources. They can use Directory to share contacts, add and remove groups, change group membership, set up group services, and manage their own contact information.
When users look up information about other people, they’ll see more than just contact information. Directory can display the picture a person has provided, list public groups the person belongs to, list the person’s manager and direct reports, and show a map that pinpoints the person’s location. Directory works together with several Mac OS X applications. Users can create shared contacts from Address Book entries, click email addresses to send email using Mail, or visit group wiki websites in Safari.
7 Managing Groups 7 Use the Groups pane to add or delete groups, see and change group membership, or configure group services. In the Groups pane, you create groups, set up group services such as wikis and blogs, add and remove group members, and delete unneeded groups. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window.
Creating a New Group You can create a new group whenever some server users need their own mailing list, shared group folder, wiki and blog, calendar, or mailing list archive. You select which of those services each group has. To create a new group: 1 Click the Add (+) button in the Groups pane of Server Preferences. 2 Enter a name for the group, optionally change the short name, and click Create Group.
Wiki and blog: Group members can view and contribute to the group wiki using their web browsers.

Mailing list web archive: Group members can read archived email sent to the group email address. 4 Add users to the group by clicking Members, and add users and groups from your organization’s directory server by clicking External Members.
Deleting a Group You can use Server Preferences to delete groups that are no longer needed. To delete a group: 1 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select the group you want to delete in the list on the left. 2 Click the Delete (–) button. After you delete a group, the group’s shared folder and website folder remain on the server’s startup disk. The shared folder is located at /Groups/, and the group website folder is at /Library/Collaboration/Groups/.
Adding or Removing Members of a Group In the Groups pane, you can add or remove group members who are users you have created or imported in the Users pane. (To have imported users, your server must be connected to a directory server.
To add or remove members of a group: 1 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select the group you want to edit in the list on the left. 2 Click Members, and then click Edit Membership. 3 Select the checkbox next to each user you want to be a member of the group. Deselect the checkbox next to each user you don’t want to be a member. 4 When you finish, click Edit Membership again to display a static list of group members. Users with Leopard can add and remove group members using the Directory application.
Adding or Removing External Members of a Group If your server is connected to a directory server, your group members can include users and group from the directory server. External members don’t have user accounts on your server, but they can use the group’s wiki website. You use the Groups pane to add or remove external group members.
To add or remove external group members: 1 Before adding external group members, be sure the group invitation email is worded to suit your needs. For information, see “Customizing the Group Invitation Email” on page 76. 2 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select the group you want to change in the list on the left, and click External Members. If you don’t see an External Members tab, your server isn’t connected to a directory server. See “Connecting to a Directory Server” on page 135.
Changing Group Settings Change a group’s name or set up group services by clicking Groups in the Users pane of Server Preferences. Group services include a shared group folder, group mailing list, group website with wiki and blog, web calendar, and web mailing list archive. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window.

3 Click Show All, click File Sharing, and make sure file sharing service is on and access to the Groups shared folder is turned on. Group members authenticate using their user account name and password to access the group’s shared folder. Setting Up a Group Mailing List You can use Server Preferences to set up a mailing list for a group. A group email address is set up using the group’s short name. The server takes mail sent to that address and delivers it to the email address of each member of the group.
To set up a wiki website for a group: 1 In the Groups pane of Server Preferences, select a group in the list on the left or create a new group, and then click Group Settings. 2 Select “Wiki and blog.” 3 Select “Web calendar” if you want the group website to include a shared calendar of events. 4 Select “Mailing list web archive” and “Mailing list” if you want the group website to include a group mailing list archive.
Replace the italicized placeholders with the server’s DNS name and the group short name. The server’s DNS name is shown in the Information pane of Server Preferences. Group members log in using their user account name and password to access the group’s wiki, blog, web calendar, or web mailing list archive. You can control access to group services by using the Directory application (located in /Applications/Utilities/). For information about using Directory, open it and use the Help menu.
Replace the italicized placeholders with the server’s DNS name and the group short name. The server’s DNS name is shown in the Information pane of Server Preferences. Group members log in using their user account name and password to access the group’s web calendar. Setting Up a Group Mailing List Archive You can use Server Preferences to set up a mailing list archive as part of a group wiki website. This service lets users read archived email sent to the group email address, using their web browsers.
8 Customizing Services 8 Use Server Preferences to change settings for file sharing, iCal, iChat, mail, web, and VPN services. Managing File Sharing Service Use the File Sharing pane to turn file sharing service on or off, or control access to the Groups and Public shared folders. You can also add your own shared folders, also known as share points, or delete them.
About File Sharing Service Mac OS X Server file sharing service lets users access shared folders and store files on the server. They can use Macintosh, Windows, or UNIX computers to access their files and shared folders without special software, using native file protocols including AFP and SMB. Windows users see Mac OS X Server file servers in their Network Places, just like Windows file servers.
Removing a Shared Folder You can use Server Preferences to remove shared folders that you no longer want available for file sharing. When you remove a shared folder, the folder and its contents remain on the server’s disk. To remove a shared folder: m In the File Sharing pane of Server Preferences, select the shared folder you want to remove, and then click the Delete (–) button.
If you give a group read and write access, all users who are members have read and write access even if their individual checkboxes are deselected. 5 To allow guest users to read the contents of a shared folder, click Edit Permissions and select “Allow Guests read-only access.” Deselect this option to disallow guest access. If you enable access to a shared folder, users can access it with the most common file sharing protocols, AFP and SMB.
Managing iCal Service Use the iCal pane to turn iCal calendar service on or off, limit file attachment size, or limit each user’s total calendar data. To configure the iCal pane: m Change any available setting, using the following information as a guide: On/Off indicates the status of iCal service, and clicking the On/Off switch turns the service on or off.
About iCal Service The calendar service for Mac OS X Server, iCal Server, makes it easy for users to share calendars, schedule meetings, and coordinate events. Colleagues can quickly and easily check each other’s availability, set up and propose meetings, book conference rooms, reserve projectors, and more. iCal Server sends the invitations, which can include information such as an agenda or to-do list, and tabulates replies. A computer with Mac OS X version 10.
Managing iChat Service Use the iChat pane to turn iChat instant messaging service on or off, make all users buddies, enable chatting with other instant messaging systems, or set up logging and archiving of all chats. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window. About iChat Service iChat service provides secure instant messaging (IM) for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux users.
Users’ iChat account information is stored on the server. Users may access their accounts from any Mac and see the same buddy lists, groups, and so forth. A computer with Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard can have its iChat application automatically set up to use your server’s iChat service. See “Setting Up Leopard Users’ Macs Automatically” on page 79. iChat service also works with Jabber-compatible instant messaging software available for Windows, Linux, and even popular PDAs.
Chatting with Users of Google Talk and Other XMPP Services You can allow users of the server to exchange instant messages with users of Google Talk and other instant messaging systems that use the XMPP protocol. To allow chatting via Google Talk and other XMPP services: 1 In the iChat pane of Server Preferences, select “Enable server-to-server communication.” 2 Restart iChat service by clicking On/Off twice. Changes to iChat service settings take effect once iChat service is restarted.
Managing Mail Service Use the Mail pane to turn mail service on or off, edit the welcome message sent to new users, specify a relay server for outgoing mail, or adjust junk mail and virus filtering. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window. About Mail Service Mail service lets users send and receive email on your local network and the Internet, using any email application.
Mail service also works with other popular mail applications that use standard email protocols. Users can get mail using the IMAP or POP protocol and send it using the SMTP protocol. Specifying a Mail Relay Server Your mail service can relay outgoing mail through another server, and that relay server will forward the mail to its destination. Â If you use a commercial Internet service provider (ISP), it may stipulate that all outgoing email be relayed through a designated server.
About Junk Mail and Virus Filtering Mail service can screen incoming mail before delivering it to check for viruses and junk mail. Mac OS X Server uses SpamAssassin (spamassassin.apache.org) to analyze the text of a message, and scores the probability of it being junk mail. No junk mail filter is 100% accurate in identifying unwanted email. So Mac OS X Server doesn’t delete junk mail. Instead it delivers the mail with “***JUNK MAIL***” added to the subject.
Moderate: The junk mail filter tolerates some signs of being junk mail. Cautious: The junk mail filter marks an incoming message as junk mail only if it contains many signs of being junk mail. Managing Web Services Use the Web pane to turn web services on or off, change your website’s homepage location, enable group wiki websites, or enable other web services. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window.
About Web Services Web services can host a conventional website or provide group websites with wikis, blogs, optional calendars, and optional mailing list archives. Other web services provide web access to email. All members of a group can easily view, search, and edit wiki content right from their web browsers. By using included templates or creating their own, they can add, delete, edit, and format content naturally—without knowing markup codes or special syntax.
Finding the Server’s Website Address The address of your server’s website is: http://serverDNSname Replace the italicized placeholder with your server’s DNS name, which is shown in the Information pane of Server Preferences. If your server website is a group wiki, visitors must log in using the name and password of a group member.
Setting Up Group Wiki Service You can use the Web pane of Server Preferences to make all group wiki websites available or unavailable on the network. When group wiki websites are available, each group’s members can access the group wiki, blog, optional calendar, and optional mailing list archive. You turn on and set options for each group’s wiki individually in the Groups pane.
Setting Up Webmail Service You can use Server Preferences to turn webmail service on or off. This service lets all server users access their mail using a web browser over the Internet. To turn webmail service on or off: m In the Web pane of Server Preferences, select or deselect “Webmail.” If this option is selected, clicking the link arrow next to it opens the webmail website. Users access your server’s webmail by appending /webmail to your server’s website address. For example: http://server.example.
Managing VPN Service Use the VPN pane to turn VPN remote access service on or off, inspect or change the VPN secret, set the IP address range for VPN users, or save a VPN configuration file for Mac OS X users. For information about the settings and controls in this pane, click the Help button in the lower-right corner of the Server Preferences window. About VPN Service VPN (virtual private network) service lets users connect to your network from home or other remote locations over the Internet.
A secure shared secret is generated automatically when you set up your server. The shared secret isn’t used to authenticate client computer users for a VPN connection. Instead it allows the server to trust client computers that have the shared secret, and it allows client computers to trust the server that has the secret. Both server and client computers must have the shared secret. A computer with Mac OS X version 10.
You can use the Password Assistant to help you compose a new shared secret. Temporarily switch to the Users pane, click Account, click Reset Password, click the Key button to the right of the New Password field, and then click Cancel and go back to the VPN pane. The Password Assistant remains open, and you can use it to generate a new shared secret that you copy from the Suggestion field and paste into the Shared Secret field.
To set up a Mac, a user simply opens the VPN configuration file you generated. Opening this file opens either the Network pane of System Preferences or Internet Connect (depending on the Mac OS X version), and then imports a VPN configuration with all information necessary to make a VPN connection except the name and password of a user account on the server. If Internet Connect asks the user where to put the imported configuration, the user should select VPN (L2TP).
Important: These are addresses on the server’s network, and they must not be used by other computers or devices on the network. This range of addresses must not include any static IP addresses in use on the network or overlap the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server assigns. To change the IP address range for VPN service: 1 In the VPN pane of Server Preferences, change the first IP address in the range, the last IP address in the range, or both.
Providing VPN Service Through an Internet Router If your server provides VPN service through an AirPort Base Station or other Internet router, and users’ computers need to make VPN connections through their own base stations or Internet routers, your server must be on a different IP subnet than the VPN users’ computers. In other words, your server’s IP address can’t begin with the same three numbers as VPN users’ IP addresses, such as 10.0.1 or 192.168.1.
After changing the IP address of your AirPort Base Station or other Internet router, change your server and other computers on its network to use the new address as their router address. You make this change in the Network pane of System Preferences on your server and other Macs. For information about changing the IP addresses of other devices, see their documentation.
9 Managing Server Information 9 Use Server Preferences to get general information, check service logs, see graphs of server activity, and change firewall settings. Managing Server Information Use the Information pane of Server Preferences to get information about your server, including the hardware and software installed, network names and address, and serial number. You can also change the server’s computer name and serial number.
Changing the Serial Number or Site License Details You can use Server Preferences to change the Mac OS X Server software serial number or site license information. To change the software serial number or site license: 1 In the Information pane of Server Preferences, click the Edit button next to the Server License information. 2 Enter a different serial number or edit the site license details as needed, and then click Save.
Software updates available: Sends an email when new software updates become available for the server. Virus detected in incoming email: Sends an email when the email virus filter detects a virus. Changing Your Server’s Name You can use Server Preferences to change the server’s computer name. It identifies the server to client computers that are browsing for network file servers, print queues, or other network resources identified by computer name, rather than by DNS name.
The server’s DNS name can only be changed by the administrator of your DNS service. You should avoid having the server’s DNS name changed, because changing it will require users of its services to reconfigure their computers: Â Users with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard will have to use Directory Utility to disconnect their computers from the server, and then use Directory Utility to connect to the server again.
Changing your server’s IP address may disrupt the connections of users’ computers that have Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. If this happens, users need to use Directory Utility to disconnect their computers from the server, and then use Directory Utility to connect to the server again. Connecting to a Directory Server If your organization has a directory server but you didn’t connect your server to it during setup, you can connect your server to it now.
Changing Firewall Settings Use the Firewall pane of Server Preferences to set up a firewall that protects your server from users on other networks or the Internet. The firewall controls incoming connections that originate outside your server’s local network (IP subnet). The firewall can allow individual services to accept incoming connections from computers outside your server’s local network, or restrict selected services to accept incoming connections only from computers on your server’s local network.
To change firewall settings: 1 In the Firewall pane of Server Preferences, click the On/Off switch to turn the firewall on or off. Turn the firewall on if you want to control incoming connections for each listed service separately. Turn off the firewall to allow all services to accept incoming connections from outside your server’s local network. 2 In the list of services, select a service’s checkbox if you want the service to accept incoming connections only from the server’s local network.
Mac OS X Server has another firewall that works differently. Called an IP firewall, it accepts or denies incoming and outgoing traffic based on attributes of the traffic, such as its destination port or originating IP address. The IP firewall can be used at the same time as the application firewall. For information about the IP firewall, see Network Services Administration (described in “Mac OS X Server Administration Guides” on page 144).
Log messages are rather technical and not very meaningful to the average user, but they can help support technicians solve problems.
Here are ways you can use the Logs pane: m Choose a log from the View pop-up menu. The log’s filename and its location on the server are shown above the contents of the log. m Show only log entries that contain a word or phrase by typing it in the Filter field at the top of the window. m Show all entries for the selected log by deleting the contents of the Filter field or clicking the X button in the field.
Monitoring Server Graphs Use the Graphs pane of Server Preferences to get a picture of server activity over time. You can find out when the server is usually busy, whether it’s operating near capacity, and when it’s likely to be least used.
Here are ways you can use the Graphs pane: m Choose a type of activity and a time period from the pop-up menus. Processor Usage: Monitor the workload of the server’s processor or processors (also called the central processing unit, or CPU). Network Traffic: Track how much incoming and outgoing data the server transfers over the network. Disk Space: See how much space is used and available on each mounted disk or volume (partition).

A Preparing Disks for Installing Mac OS X Server A Use the Installer, Server Assistant, or Disk Utility if you need to erase a disk, partition it into multiple volumes, or set up a RAID set.
For information about using Installer, Server Assistant, and Disk Utility during installation, see Chapter 2, “Installing Mac OS X Server.” For information about controlling Disk Utility remotely from another computer with Apple Remote Desktop (which you can purchase separately) before installing remotely, see Server Administration (described in “Mac OS X Server Administration Guides” on page 144).
Important: Third-party software may not function properly when installed on a casesensitive volume due to an unforeseen capitalization mismatch. For example, an application may have a folder named PlugIns, but some parts of the application may refer to it as Plugins. This would work on a volume with the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, but wouldn’t work on a volume with the Mac OS Extended (Casesensitive, Journaled) format.
Partitioning a Hard Disk Partitioning the hard disk creates a volume for server system software and one or more additional volumes for data and other software. The minimum recommended size for an installation partition is 20 GB. A larger volume is recommended for a standard or workgroup configuration, because these configurations keep shared folders and group websites on the startup volume together with the server software. Use Disk Utility to partition a hard disk.
B Configuring an Internet Router B Configure an AirPort Base Station or an Internet router to make your server’s services available on the Internet. If you have an Internet router or gateway device that shares an Internet connection among computers on your local network, it isolates your local network from the Internet. Computers on the Internet can’t access services provided by your server unless your router is configured to forward requests for each service to your server.
The server can configure port mapping automatically on an AirPort Base Station that has the default password (public). If the base station has a different password, you can enter it while setting up the server locally, and the server will be able to configure port mapping on the base station. If you set up your server remotely, it will be able to configure port mapping automatically as long as your base station uses the default password.
Manually Configuring Port Mapping on an Internet Router You can manually configure port mapping on most Internet routers by using their configuration software. Usually the configuration software consists of several webpages. Using Safari, you go to the webpage with settings for port mapping or port forwarding. In some cases, you can select standard services such as web or VPN and specify that each be mapped to your server’s IP address.
