Chapter 7 Setting Up Home Directories 115
4 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts and select the user account you want to work
with.
To select a local user account, click the small globe above the user list and open the
local directory domain, click the Users button, then select the user in the user list.
5 Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator of the local directory domain.
6 Click Home to set up the selected user’s home directory.
7 In the share points list, select the share point you want to use.
The list displays all the AFP share points on the server you are connected to.
8 (Optional) Enter a disk quota and specify megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB).
9 Click Create Home Now, then click Save.
If you do not click Create Home Now before clicking Save, the home directory is
created the next time the user restarts the client computer and logs in remotely.
However, only certain clients can connect to servers hosting sharepoints in the local
domain. For instructions on setting up a share point for Mac OS X clients, see “Creating
a Network Home Directory” on page 115.
The home directory has the same name as the user’s first short name.
10 Make sure AFP service is running on the server where the local user’s home directory
resides.
To check the status of AFP service, open Server Admin and connect to the server where
the local user account resides. Select AFP in the Computers & Services list and click
Overview. If the status indicates Apple File Service is stopped, choose Server > Start
Service or click Start Service in the toolbar.
Creating a Network Home Directory
In Workgroup Manager, you can set up a network home directory for a user account
stored in a shared directory domain.
A user’s network home directory can reside in any AFP or NFS share point that the
user’s computer can access. The share point must be automountable. An
automountable share point ensures that the home directory is visible in
/Network/Servers automatically when the user logs in to a Mac OS X computer
configured to access the shared domain. It also lets other users access the home
directory using the ~home-directory-name shortcut.
You can use Workgroup Manager to define a network home directory for a user whose
account is stored in the LDAP directory of an Open Directory master or another read/
write directory domain accessible from the server you are using. You can also use
Workgroup Manager to review home directory information in any accessible read-only
directory domain.
