Description

Mac OS X Server melds the most popular technologies from the open source community with the latest version of BSD - the long-standing foundation on which the Internet was built. Server Admin, a revolutionary new tool that simplifies the set up and management of these open standard network services, is just one of more than 150 innovative new features in this, the fourth major release of AppleƳ server software. With Mac OS X Server, you donƴ need a black belt in UNIX to deploy cost-effective, open-source server solutions. Mac OS X Server features Open Directory 2, a robust, scalable directory services architecture based entirely on open standards. The integrated authentication authority uses Kerberos to provide strong authentication and single sign-on to authorized network resources. Open Directory also features integrated PDC services ?ng Samba 3 ? providing Windows workgroups with login and authentication services, roaming profiles and network home directories. Open Directory 2 can be replicated across multiple network servers for scalability and maximum service availability. Native file and print services for Mac, WIndows and Linux are built in, so you can give everyone access to storage space on the server and shared PostScript and raster (inkjet) printers. An intuitive interface to the open source Apache web server makes it easy to host reliable, high-performance websites, while 128-bit encryption and realm-based authentication provide high-grade security for e-commerce solutions and intranet sites. Core network services in Mac OS X Server - including DNS, NAT, DHCP and Firewall - are integrated into the Server Admin utility, making it easier to set up and secure your local area network. The built-in Virtual Private Network server provides secure remote access to your LAN from anywhere on the Internet
