I am having a bunch of problems setting up single signon. I have read your great articles and they are really helpful. However, in the articles it says you addressed single signon, but I don't see where. I have a machine acting as the directory server and a second machine being the file server. How do I get it so that when the client logs in and authenticates to the directory server that it does not ask for a login and password to the file server? Are there any articles on this?


Thanks,
-Gary

    Gary,

    You have just uncovered the one area that the articles don't cover.

    Assuming that both the directory server and the file server are running OS X Server. Establish the directory server as an Open Directory Master and set the file server to 'Connected to a directory system' and it should work fine. If it doesn't or you aren't running Server on both then you are into territory a little harder.

    I hope to be writing more about these topics soon and extending Kerberos beyond a single server (and debugging connections) is on my list.
