54 Chapter 3 User Management for Mobile Clients

Mac OS X Portable Computers With Multiple Local Users

One example of shared portable computers is an iBook Wireless Mobile Lab. An iBook

Wireless Mobile Lab contains either 10 or 15 student iBooks (plus an additional iBook

for an instructor), an AirPort Base Station, and a printer, all on a mobile cart. The cart

lets you take the computers to your users (for example, from one classroom to

another).

To manage the iBooks on your cart, create identical generic local user accounts on each

computer (for example, all the accounts could use “Math” as the user name and

“student” as the password). You might want to create different generic local accounts

for different purposes, such as an account for a History class, one for a Biology class,

and so on. Each account should have a local home directory and should not have

administrative privileges. Use a separate local administrator account on each computer

to allow server administrators (or other individuals) to perform maintenance tasks and

upgrades, install software, and administer the local user accounts.

After creating the local user accounts, add each of the computers to a computer list,

then manage preferences for that list. Because multiple users can store items in the

local home directory for the generic account, you may want to periodically clean out

that folder as part of your maintenance routine.

You can also create mobile accounts for users or use Workgroup Manager preference

management to create a mobile account automatically when a user logs in.

Mac OS X Portable Computers With One Primary Local User

There are two ways set up portable computers for a single user who doesn’t use a

mobile account.

• The user doesn’t have administrator privileges, but has a local account.

Set up a local administrator account on the computer (don’t give the user any

information about this account), then set up a local account for the user. Users with

local accounts that don’t have administrator privileges can’t install software and can

add or delete items only in their own home directories. A local user can share items

with other local users by using the Public folder in his or her local home directory.

If this user had a mobile account, it would function as a local account but could be

managed like a network account. If the user has an existing network account, you

can change managed preference settings so that a mobile account is created during

the user’s first login. Additionally, if this user has syncing (PHD), then his home

directory content will also be synchronized when he is connected with the network.

• The user is the administrator for the computer.

Mac OS X v10.4 gives you the ability to allow or deny administrators the ability to

turn off management during login.

Note: In many cases, a local admin can still override management settings.
