Though it was definately quirky.In a pure Mac environment though Open Directory would appear to be the centralized authentication piece. Quote:Originally posted by Jack in the Box:I know MacOS X can integrate with AD from my previous experiences. You'll be able to use Apple's Server Admin tools to set the restrictions.Basically, any restriction you can put on a local user through the Accounts preference pane can be put on a network user through MCX settings. A Mac OS X or OpenDirectory server should be able to do this natively. In AD, this involves changing your schema. If, for example, you want network users to be restricted to a certain set of applications, you need to have the domain server (be it ActiveDirectory or OpenDirectory), push down MCX settings to the client machine. Does it have add-ons or the ability to support things like group policies or system policies or is that done via a different method? That all depends on what kind of policies you want to implement.
