Below is a screen shot of a group object in ConsoleOne, and the corresponding group in Apple’s WorkGroup

Manager:

The screenshots show how these two systems talk

together over the LDAP protocol. Below, the items that

are managed though the MCX facets are displayed. On

the left, we see where those settings are stored on the

group object in eDirectory. There is an LDAP mapping

that sits on the client machines that says the apple

attribute MCXSettings will be stored in the apple-

mcxsettings attribute on the group record in

eDirectory. This tells the client machine where to store

and read the settings to and from.

One of the things to note is if everyone has a primary

group ID of 40, no matter whom they are, they will

receive the preferences for the group returned based on

the search base and settings defined in Directory Access.

If there are additional groups that you want to apply

settings to, you can simply create a group, give it a

unique group ID, and set the users you want in that

group by entering the groupID number into the Primary

Group number field on the user record. This will allow

for special groups and granular control.

One of the features shown above is boxed in blue. Mobility is a way for the network-based user account to be

cached locally using mobile home directories. This works well for laptop users, as they no longer need to be live on

the network to login. Using this, you can also set automatic synchronizing to provide data backup to users. This

can be enabled to either automatically create the account or prompt the user. It can also be associated at the

computer, group or user level.

Every preference that appears on the client can be managed, so if there are additional preference panes in use, it is

a good idea to install them on the same machine that you will be managing MCX data from. Each preference can

either be set to Always, Never, or Manage Once. Always makes it so the user cannot change the setting, while
