Step 10: Configure client computers
The information that follows applies to Mac OS X version 10.3 computers. For
information about how to support Windows client computers, see the Windows
administration guide.
1 If necessary, configure Mac OS X clients to retrieve information from the DHCP server.
Mac OS X version 10.3 computers are preconfigured to use DHCP to obtain IP addresses
and retrieve information about an LDAP directory from the DHCP server. After you
configure DHCP service with information about an LDAP directory, that information is
delivered automatically to Mac OS X clients when they receive IP addresses from the
DHCP server.
These are the settings that are preconfigured:
Network preferences are set to use DHCP. To access the setting, select System
Preferences, open Network preferences, select the internal Ethernet interface, and
select “Using DHCP with manual address” or “Using DHCP” from the Configure IPv4
pop-up menu.
The computer’s search policy is set to be defined automatically. To access this setting,
open Directory Access (in /Applications/Utilities/) and click Authentication. If the lock
icon is locked, click it and authenticate as an administrator. Choose Automatic from
the Search pop-up menu, then click Apply.
The use of DHCP-supplied LDAP information is enabled. To access this setting, open
Directory Access and click Services. If the lock icon is locked, click it and authenticate
as an administrator. Select LDAPv3 in the list of services, then click Configure. Click
“Use DHCP-supplied LDAP Server,” then click OK.
2 Configure Mac OS X clients so they can use the VPN server.
Open the Internet Connect application (in /Applications/) and click VPN in the toolbar.
Select L2TP over IPSec or PPP and click Continue. Choose Edit Configurations from the
Configurations pop-up menu. Enter the external IP address from the ISP, the user name
and password for the computer user, and—for L2TP over IPSec—the shared secret.
Click OK.
