ADVANCED FEATURES

 

• Allows for user login with home directories located on 

the Macintosh client’s local hard disk.

• Automatically  configures  Macintosh  for  use  with 

Kerberos.  Kerberos  configuration  files  are  generated 
automatically.

• Fully signed and sealed (encrypted) LDAP connections 

prevent  disclosure  of  user’s  personal  information  and 
prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

• Support  for  bidirectional  SMB-signed  connections, 

NTLM SSP, and NTLMv2.

• Expired and reset passwords are handled correctly when 

users log in to the Macintosh desktop.

• Caches user credentials for mobile user access when not 

connected to the network.

• Supports browsing for published shares.
• Print client can access shared printers. Printers may be 

configured by browsing the list of printers published in 
a domain, or entered manually.

•  Kerberos  credentials  are  set  up  automatically  when  a 

user logs in. No changes to 

/etc/authorization

 are 

required.

• Support for cross-realm trusts with MIT Kerberos.
• Support for multiple domains within a forest.
• Administrators can choose domain search paths for users, 

groups,  published printers and shares to limit searches 
to specific organizational units.

•  Administrators  can  choose  to  give  local  administrative 

privileges to domain members based on their username 
or domain group membership.

• Administrators can give administrative privileges to the 

user specified as the Macintosh’s manager in the domain  
computer records.

• Home directories may be located in a path where the user 

does not have access to the parent folders.

• Administrators can utilize Apple’s Workgroup Manager 

MCX settings.  MCX settings are now replicated to each 
Macintosh  so  they  are  always  available  even  when  the 

Macintosh  is  disconnected  from  the 
network.

• ADmitMac  Deployment  utility  creates  custom 

ADmitMac  install  packages  for  multi-computer 
installations.    Custom  install  packages  support 
automatic  installation  mode  where  Macintosh

without requiring human interaction.

will register its IP addresses with DNS using its 
computer account name.
