Mac OS X Server v10.5, 5-Client With
Mac OS X Server v10.5, Apple has integrated popular open source software technologies
and created innovative management tools to make it easy to provide powerful
standards-based server solutions. With over 150 new features, including centralized
directory and authentication for Mac and Windows clients, Mac OS X Server is
a comprehensive platform that is ideal for corporate and educational institutions.
This 5-client edition of Apple's award-winning UNIX-based server operating
system is the easiest way to deploy powerful Internet, network and small workgroup
services.
Cross-platform file and print services
Native file and print services for Mac, Windows and Linux are built-in so you
can give everyone access to storage space on the server and shared Postscript
and raster (inkjet) printers. Directory services and authentication
Mac OS X Server features Open Directory 2, a robust, scalable directory services
architecture based entirely on open standards. The integrated authentication
authority uses Kerberos to provide strong authentication and single sign-on
to authorized network resources. Open Directory also features integrated PDC
services--using Samba 3--for providing Windows workgroups with login and authentication
services, roaming profiles, and network home directories. Web
hosting
Mac OS X Server adds an intuitive interface to the open source Apache web server,
making it easy to host reliable, high-performance websites. Strong 128-bit encryption
and realm-based authentication provides high-grade security for e-commerce solutions
and intranet sites. Application servers
With the built-in JBoss application server and full support for JSPs, Java Servlets,
SOAP and XML-RPC, Mac OS X Server provides a complete solution for hosting Java
2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. It also features powerful deployment
tools that simplify configuration of application resources and EJB components.
Media streaming
QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster provide an end-to-end solution
for live encoding and streaming digital media. The new QTSS Publisher application
makes it easy to hint media, create and edit playlists, and push content out
to the streaming server from any Mac OS X Panther system. Mail
services
The comprehensive, easy-to-use mail services in Mac OS X Server are based on
popular open source projects, including Postfix, Mailman, and SquirrelMail.
Full support for Internet mail protocols ensures compatibility with standards-based
mail clients on Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, and built-in SSL/TLS encryption
provides secure mail transport. Desktop management
Workgroup Manager simplifies directory-based management of network environments
with an intuitive interface for managing user identities, group relationships,
computer settings, and access to network resources. Innovative system imaging
capabilities in Mac OS X Server streamline system deployment and software distribution. Networking
and security
Core network services in Mac OS X Server--including DNS, NAT, DHCP, and Firewall--are
integrated into the Server Admin utility, making it easier to set up and secure
your local area network. Using L2TP and PPTP tunneling protocols, the VPN server
supports encrypted, authenticated IP connections for Mac, Windows, and Linux
clients. Management features
Industry-leading tools for secure remote administration make services easy to
set up and manage from any Mac OS X Panther system, anywhere on the Internet.
Server Admin provides a graphical user interface for configuring and monitoring
network and Internet services, and support for SSH2 enables secure remote administration
from the command-line.
