Following completion of the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion installation, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server must be purchased and downloaded, if this has not already been done. Once it has been downloaded, Server.app needs to be run from the Applications folder. Server.app does take the server administrator through the installation and configuration of the services for Server.app.
Setting Up File Services in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server
As time has progressed, the process of setting up mail services on an OS X Server has become increasingly simplified. The options with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server were vast and could be quite confusing for novice server administrators.
OS X 10.9 Mavericks provides a ton of other new features that are not server specific, but for the purposes of this review I chose to focus primarily on the server-specific features. All in all, OS X 10.9 Mavericks Server is a great upgrade for those who have become accustom to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server. OS X 10.9 Mavericks Server does not introduce anything radically new. It does, however, refine existing services, while adding a completely new feature with Xcode Services. This is reminiscent of the upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server, which similarly included some refinements and only a few new features.
To unlock all of Lion Server's features, however, you still needed the Server Admin Tools, which were and still are available as a separate download. Installing and running Server Admin granted access to some of the more advanced services (DHCP, DNS, NAT, the NetBoot service, the Software Update server, Open Directory, the firewall, and a few others) while exposing more advanced settings for the Mail service, while things like Workgroup Manager enabled more advanced user and computer management. Other services that had been present in Snow Leopard Server and older versions (Print, QuickTime Server, and others, most of which could safely be considered vestigial) didn't make the jump, and aren't present in either Server.app or Server Admin.
NOTE: The setting of "ServerName" to anything other than the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the server under Apache 2.2.x and Yosemite, does not produce the expected results.Using the links above to "localhost" will fail with Safari complaining "Failed to open page. Safari can't open the page "localhost" because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost". The simple answer is "localhost" is an "old-tyme" shortcut which should still work, but often does not for many different reasons. The "Fix" is to simply use the FQDN of your server when testing Apache or related Web services.
All client and server versions of macOS are supported starting from Mountain Lion (10.8). You can start the installation by mounting the downloaded .dmg file and double clicking the installer program.
Choosing this option allows you to import an autologin profile with the address and credentials for your Access Server, then simply start the connection with the tap of a button. You would not need to re-enter credentials each time you connect. The autoprofile itself contains an embedded secure certificate that identifies and authorizes your connection automatically. It is an optional setting on the OpenVPN Access Server that the administrator of the server can choose to make available to you. If you find you cannot import the autologin profile, your administrator may not have allowed autologin through user permissions. 2ff7e9595c
