11.10 Macintosh Exercises and Novell AFP

Most of the exercises you have performed in this guide can also be performed on a Macintosh workstation, so we will not repeat them.

OES 2 includes iPrint and iFolder clients for the Mac, and NetStorage and iFolder Web services work equally well on most browsers, including those on mobile devices.

Novell CIFS even works well with the Macintosh file sharing functionality.

To explore Novell AFP on your getting-started lab’s Macintosh workstation, do the following:

  1. While logged into the workstation, click the Finder, then click Go > Connect to Server.

  2. In the Connect to Server dialog box, type the OES 2 server’s IP address or DNS name, then click Connect.

  3. Type an nss* user’s name and password and click Connect.

    You should see the folders on the HOME_NSS volume to which the user has access rights.
