Chapter 7 Initial Server Setup 105
See “Define Server Setup Infrastructure Requirements” on page 77 for some additional
infrastructure information. The Open Directory and network services administration
guides provide instructions for setting up directories and DHCP.
15 If the setup data is encrypted, make the passphrase available to the target server or
servers. You can supply the passphrase interactively, using Server Assistant, or you
provide it in a text file.
To provide the passphrase in a file, use step 16. To provide it interactively, use step 17.
16 To provide a passphrase in a file, create a new text file and type the passphrase for the
saved setup file on the first line. Save the file using one of the following names; target
servers search for names in the order listed:
<MAC-address-of-server>.pass (include any leading zeros but omit colons). For
example, 0030654dbcef.pass.
<IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.0.4.pass.
<partial-host-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.pass.
<built-in-hardware-serial-number-of-server>.pass (first 8 characters only). For example,
ABCD1234.pass.
<full-host-name-of-server>.pass. For example, myserver.example.com.pass.
<partial-IP-address-of-server>.pass. For example, 10.0.pass (matches 10.0.0.4 and
10.0.1.2).
generic.pass (a file that any server will recognize).
Place the passphrase file on a volume mounted locally on the target server in
/Volumes/*/SA_Keys/<pass-phrase-file>, where * is any device mounted under
/Volumes.
17 To provide a passphrase interactively, use Server Assistant on an administrator
computer that can connect with the target server.
In the Welcome pane, choose File > Supply Passphrase. In the dialog, enter the target
server’s IP address, password, and the passphrase.
Click Send.
18 Use Server Assistant to enter the server software serial number for the target server.
See the Open Directory administration guide for a description of the schema of setup
data saved in a directory.
