Apple 10.6 Server User Manual


 
Adding and Removing Services in Server Admin
Server Admin can only show you the services you are administering, hiding all other
service conguration panes until needed. Before you can administer a service, it must
be enabled for the specic server; then that service appears under the server name in
the main Server list.
To add or remove a service in Server Admin:
1 Select the server that will host the service.
2 Click the Settings button in the toolbar.
3 Click Services.
4 Select the service and click Save.
The service now appears in the list, ready for conguration.
Importing and Exporting Service Settings
To copy service settings from one server to another or to save service settings in a plist
le for reuse later, use the Export Service Settings command in Server Admin.
To export service settings:
1 Select the server.
2 From the menu bar, choose Server > Export > Service Settings.
3 Select the services whose settings you want to copy.
4 Click Save.
The le that is created contains all service conguration information as a plist XML
document.
To import service settings:
1 Select the target server to receive the settings.
2 Choose Server > Import > Service Settings from the menu bar.
3 Find and select the saved service le.
The only le you can use with this function is a properly formatted XML-based plist le,
generated from the settings export.
4 Click Open.
