Setting Up AppleShare IP 41 Setting Up Shared Users and Groups If you've installed AppleShare IP on multiple servers and you want to perform all users and groups administration on one server, you can set up servers to get the latest users and groups information from a primary server. Note: To install the same AppleShare IP service ( Web & File Server, Print Server, or Mail Server) on more than one computer, you need to purchase a copy of AppleShare IP for each computer. You can share users and groups information with a maximum of 11 servers (10 secondary servers and 1 primary server). AppleShare IP uses industry-standard, high-security encryption methods to share users and groups information between servers. How Users and Groups Information Is Shared After you've set up primary and secondary servers, the secondary servers contact the primary server to update their users and groups information. Whenever a user tries to log on to a secondary server with a name or password that isn't found in the secondary server's registry, the secondary server contacts the primary server. If the name the user entered matches a name in the primary server's registry, the new name, password, and any group memberships for that user account are downloaded to the secondary server. The user will still be able to use his or her previous name and password to log on to a secondary server until the server's users and groups information expires (which happens every 12 hours by default) or is downloaded when you use the Download All feature on the secondary server.
