3 Follow the self-guided steps for configuring the server’s use of a directory domain and a
Password Server.
Deleting a Shared Open Directory Domain
You can delete a shared Open Directory domain that is hosted by a Mac OS X Server. Use
Open Directory Assistant to do this.
To delete a shared directory domain hosted by a Mac OS X Server:
1 Start Open Directory Assistant.
2 Enter the connection and authentication information for the Mac OS X Server that hosts the
shared domain you want to delete, then click Connect.
For Address, enter the DNS name or IP address of the server.
For User Name, enter the user name of an administrator on the server.
For Password, enter the password for the user name you entered.
3 Choose Delete Hosted Domain from the Domain menu.
After deleting a shared domain that is supplied automatically by DHCP, you must remove it
from the DHCP service. Otherwise client computers may pause for long periods of time
while trying to access the deleted domain. For instructions, see “Setting the LDAP Server for
DHCP Clients” on page 479 in Chapter 11, “DHCP Service.”
Configuring Open Directory Service Protocols
Open Directory uses many protocols to access administrative data in directory domains and
discover services on the network. You can enable or disable each of the protocols individually
by using the Directory Access application. The protocols include
m AppleTalk, the legacy Mac OS protocol for file and print services
m BSD Configuration Files, the original method still used by some organizations for
accessing administrative data on UNIX computers
m Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 2 (LDAPv2), an open standard that Open
Directory can use to access (read-only) directory domains on a variety of servers
Warning When you delete a directory domain, all user account information and other
administrative data that it contains is lost.
