90 Chapter 5 Migrating From AppleShare IP
To import users and groups using Workgroup Manager:
1 Place the export file(s) you created in step 3 in a location accessible from your server.
2 If you want imported users to have passwords validated using Open Directory
authentication, you can set that up in the preset you defined in step 6. Enable the
password option that forces users to change their passwords the next time they log in.
You can also change password settings using Workgroup Manager after you’ve finished
importing users.
3 In Workgroup Manager, click the Accounts button.
4 Click the globe icon in the toolbar to open the directory into which you want to import
accounts.
5 Click the lock to authenticate as domain administrator.
6 Choose Server > Import, select the import file, and specify import options.
If you’re importing user accounts and using a preset, make sure you identify the preset.
7 Click Import.
You can also use the dsimport tool to import users and groups. See the command-line
administration guide for dsimport instructions.
To create home directories for imported users:
You have several options:
• Create home directories one at a time by selecting a user account in Workgroup
Manager, clicking Advanced, then clicking Create Home Now.
• Create all the home directories by using the -a argument of the createhomedir
command. For details, see the command-line administration guide or the man page
for createhomedir.
• A home directory associated with an AFP share point is automatically created the
first time a user logs in if it doesn’t exist already.
Step 8: Copy data to the new server
Set up the data you want to reuse.
Web Content
Copy static webpages to /Library/Webserver/Documents/.
For dynamic content, consider recoding your existing CGIs using the native Mac OS X
Server web server capabilities. You can also run AFIP CGIs based on AppleScript, and it
is no longer necessary to have the Classic environment available to run them; run the
ACGI Enabler (in /Applications/Utilities/) to set up Apache support for these legacy
CGIs.
