Mac Forum / General / Networking / February 2006transferring passwords
We have Mac OS X server running on one machine on our network and standard OS X running on another. Its sometimes necessary to log into the second machine for remote admin of that particular machine. I would like to set something up so only a single copy of users passwords is stored on the server, but it is shared between additional computers. Is it possible to copy the hashed passwords over to other machines? Or...any other ideas? Brett.

It's a fairly simple matter of copying a keychain to the ~/Library/Keychains/ folder and adding it to your keychain list in the Keychain Access. -- Gnarlie > Entity brettster2001@gmail.com spoke thus: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > -- Gnarlie What if it changes on the server though? Is there some way I can trigger the copy to occur?

I think the question is more about Mac OS X login passwords than passwords used within the Keychain. There should be a way of setting up NetInfo on each machine so that it will look at NetInfo on the Mac OS X Server machine. I am not sure exactly as I don't have Mac OS X Server. >>Entity brettster2001@gmail.com spoke thus: >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > will look at NetInfo on the Mac OS X Server machine.

For future reference, see the excellent document at: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/servers/UsingNetInfoMa cXServer10.2.PDF Brett. |
