CHAPTER

Setting Up NetInfo Hierarchies

After you have decided what the topology of your NetInfo hierarchy should look like and

identiﬁed which computers will host shared domains, you are ready to create the hierarchy

and populate its domains with records.

The Overall Process

These are the main steps for setting up NetInfo hierarchies:

Step 1: Set up shared domains

On each computer you want to host shared domains, create the domains and conﬁgure them

so that they are able to bind into the hierarchy you want.

If you want a hierarchy that contains only one shared domain, a root domain, follow the

instructions in “Setting Up the Root Domain of a Simple Hierarchy” on page 44.

If you want a hierarchy with at least one shared domain between local and root domains,

see “Setting Up Shared Domains in Deeper Hierarchies” on page 45.

Step 2: Set up local domains

Set up the local domain on each Mac OS X computer so that it binds to the appropriate

shared domain. See “Setting Up Local Domains of Network Users” on page 51.

Step 3: Set up replication

If you want to replicate shared domains for performance and reliability, deﬁne clones. See

“Setting Up Replication” on page 53.

Step 4: Set up Windows user authentication

If Windows users need to be authenticated using NetInfo, follow the instructions in “Setting

Up Windows User Authentication” on page 56.
