Configuring Static Ports for Shared NetInfo Domains
By default, Mac OS X dynamically selects a port in the range 600 through 1023 when it accesses a shared NetInfo domain. You can configure a shared domain for NetInfo access over specific ports. Use the NetInfo Manager application to do this.
- Open NetInfo Manager on the computer where the shared domain resides, then open the domain.
- Click the lock and authenticate using the name and password of an administrator for the directory domain.
- Select the "/" directory in the Directory Browser list.
- To change the value of an existing port property, double-click the value in the Value(s) column and make the change.
- To delete a port property, select it and choose Delete from the Edit menu.
- To add a property, choose New Property from the Directory menu and proceed as follows.
If you want to use one port for both TCP and UDP packets, double-click new_property and change it to "port." Then change new_value to the port number you want to use.
If you want separate TCP and UDP ports, double-click new_property and change it to tcp_port. Then change new_value to the TCP port number you want to use. Next double-click new_property and change it to udp_port. This time, change new_value to the UDP port number you want to use.
