If you require DFS home directory support or your Macintosh clients must be able to browse your DFS namespace using the Finder, the DFS Client application is required. This application automates most of the steps required to make Finder integrated browsing and DFS home directories work on the Macintosh. The only additional step beyond installing the software is to edit the application’s configuration file with the DNS name of the Access Connect DFS root server(s) you will be using.
To install the Access Connect DFS Client:
Open a web browser on the Macintosh client and navigate to http://yourservername:8081 (unless you changed the HTTP port of the server).
Click the Mac DFS Client Application link to download the installer zip file, containing a standard Mac OS Installer and an example dfsservers.conf file.
Edit the dfsservers.conf file to contain the address for your Access Connect DFS root server(s) and copy it to the /etc directory of the Macintosh.
Run the DFS Client installer on the Macintosh client. If a dfsservers.conf file is not present in the /etc directory before the DFS Client is first launched, a template file will be created but will still need to have the proper Access Connect DFS root server(s) added to it. This completes the Macintosh client configuration and the client can then access DFS volumes.
