92 Chapter 8 Migrating From AppleShare IP
7 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 Home, 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
Copy data you want to reuse from the remote ASIP server to Mac OS X Server.
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’s
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.
User Data
Place home directories in locations that match the locations in the imported user
records. If necessary, you can use Workgroup Manager to edit user accounts so the
locations in the account and on disk are the same.
Step 9: Set up share points and privileges
Re-create the share points and privileges as required.
To create a share point and set privileges:
1 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
2 Click the All button and select the volume or folder you want to share.
3 Click General and select “Share this item and its contents.”
4 Click Access to set up access privileges.
5 Click Save.
New share points are automatically shared using AFP and SMB, but not NFS. To export
a share point using NFS, use the Protocol pane. See the file services administration
guide for more information about setting up share points.
