Course Descriptions This three-day course focuses on both OS X Lion as a directory service client, and OS X Lion Server as a directory server. Cross platform solutions are emphasized in both instances. In working with Lion, students learn how to use network accounts and Kerberos authentication with any common directory service, such as Apple's Open Directory, Microsoft's Active Directory, or an industry-standard LDAP Server. Students learn both basic and advanced options via the user interface and command line including scripting options to facilitate easier integration. In working with Lion Server, students learn how to run a robust, scalable directory system using Apple's Open Directory service. Students also learn how to integrate Lion Server into an Active Directory environment, and to provide management using both dual-directory and profile based solutions. This course is a combination of lecture and hands-on case study exercises that provide practical, real-world experience. Who Should Attend This course is designed for system administrators and IT professionals who need to gain specific knowledge about directory services, how to effectively configure Lion computers to access directory services, and how to effectively configure Lion Server to provide and supplement directory services in a mixed-platform environment. Prerequisites Students should have the following knowledge prior to attending the course: Lion 101 and Lion 201 or equivalent knowledge Understanding of the basic IP networking, including IP address, subnet masks, ports, and protocols Experience using the command-line interface with OS X Course Outline Note: The curricula below comprise activities typically covered in a class at this skill level.
