Features:
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. You can
even host home directories on the server, allowing users to access
their documents and personal settings from any platform, anywhere
on the network. Per-user disk and print quotas allow you to manage
use of network resources across your organization.
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. Open Directory 2 can be replicated across
multiple network servers for scalability and maximum service
availability.
Web hosting
Mac OS X Server addsan intuitive interface to the open source
Apache web server, making it easy to host reliable,
high-performance websites. It features a front-end cache that
improves performance of static HTML pages, as well as built-in
support for collaborative publishing, database integration, and
server-side scripting--allowing you to host dynamic content and
sophisticated web services. 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.
QuickTime supports MPEG-4, the new industry standard for delivering
broadcast-quality audio and video over the Internet. 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:
Network Install provides automated software installation, and
NetBoot allows multiple Mac clients to start up from a single
server-based disk image.
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. The
built-in Virtual Private Network server provides secure remote
access to your LAN from anywhere on the Internet. 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. Mac OS X Server also supports the
open-standard SNMPv3 protocol for integration with third-party
monitoring and management software. The new Automatic Setup
simplifies data center deployments by enabling you to set up
multiple servers from configuration settings stored in a directory
server, your iPod, or other external FireWire or USB storage
device.
