Setting Up NetInfo Hierarchies 59

Set Up Local Domains on Other Mac OS X Computers

Use the following procedure to enable Authentication Manager for the local domain on any

other Mac OS X computers that will bind into the hierarchy:

1 Log in to the computer as the root user.

2 Open the Terminal application, located in /Applications/Utilities.

3 Enter the following command line, where “local” is the NetInfo tag for a local domain:

[computer1:~] root# tim -init -auto local

4 When prompted, enter and re-enter an encryption key:

Password for local:

Re-enter to verify:

Initialize service for local: Operation Succeeded

Enable autostart for local: Operation Succeeded

5 In the computer’s /etc/hostconﬁg ﬁle, ensure that this line exists:

AUTHSERVER=-YES-

6 Restart the computer or start Authentication Manager by entering this command line in the

Terminal application:

[computer1:~] root# tim

7 Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each additional Mac OS X computer whose local domain is part

of the hierarchy.

Reset Existing User Passwords

When you add a new user to a domain that resides on Mac OS X Server, the user is

automatically set up for encrypted password validation. However, passwords of existing

users in each domain residing on the server must be reset. Use the Users & Groups module

of Server Admin:

m First reset the root user’s password. The root user is the user named System

Administrator, which is listed when you select Show System Users & Groups in the

Users & Groups List window.

m Then reset the password of existing users that will be using Windows computers.

If you receive a 5015 error when adding users or changing a user’s password, you most

likely have not enabled Authentication Manager properly for all of a hierarchy’s domains.
