Во время этого 4-дневного курса рассматривается как клиентская, так и серверная часть службы каталога Mac OS X. Это кроссплатформенное решение позволяет использовать сетевые учетные записи с механизмы аутентификации Kerberos для доступа к ресурсам под управлением Apple's Open Directory, Microsoft's Active Directory, и любого стандартного LDAP сервера.
Course Outline
This four-day course focuses on both Mac OS X as a directory service client, and Mac OS X Server as a directory server. Cross platform solutions are emphasized in both instances. In working with Mac OS X, students learn how to use network accounts and Kerberos authentication with any common directory service, such as Apple's Open Directory, Microsoft's Active Directory, or an industry-standard LDAP server.
In working with Mac OS X Server, students learn how to run a robust, scalable directory system using Apple's Open Directory server. Students also learn how to use Mac OS X Server to augment an existing directory service infrastructure. The course is a combination of lecture and hands-on case study exercises that provide practical real-world experience.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for system administrators and IT professionals who need to gain specific knowledge about directory services, how to effectively configure Mac OS X computers to access directory services, and configure Mac OS X Server to provide directory services in a mixed-platform environment.
