4.3 Automounting SharePoints (10.1 server) |
|
|
If you have created SharePoints as described in the section "4.1 Creating a new SharePoint" and you have created a NetInfo Master as described in the section "2.1 Creating a NetInfo Master", then your OS X clients can "auto-mount". "Auto-mount" transparently mounts a share-point as part of the OS X clients' file system during user log in (Usually in /Network/Servers). This allows users to access files from another machine without being presented with a log-in window. "Auto-mount" has no effect on Mac OS 9 clients. If you are auto-mounting share points that reside on a Mac OS X server, then you can use the "Server Admin" tool as described below. |
|
|
Log on to the server as "root". Run "Server Admin" from the toolbar. |
|
| In the "Server Admin Logon" window, enter the server IP address, the "administrators" name, and the "administrators" password. | |
| Select "Show Disks & Share Points" from the "Sharing" icon | |
| Select the share point from the "Disks & Share Points" window. | |
| Select "Automount" from the pull-down menu. | |
|
Click on the lock next to the domain field. Enter "roots" name and password and Click "Log In" to Authenticate. |
|
|
Tick the "Automount this item..." box. Select "NetInfo/root" from the pull-down menu. Click the "Save" button to make the changes. |
