Podcast Producer - Using various Camera and Video input devices from a wide variety of manufacturers is encouraged; providing information both regarding devices which fail and devices which work as expected is welcome - Leopard Podcast Capture writing media to Snow Leopard Podcast Producer Server - Using Active Directory as your Directory System Areas of Change and Developer Notes Server Assistant Server Assistant has been revamped with a new look. The Server Assistant application has been removed from the Server Folder. Remote install, remote setup, and auto server setup are now intiated from Server Admin's Server menu. You will need to create new profiles for use with SnowLeopard's auto server setup. Additionally, Server Assistant creates a self-signed SSL certificate using the server name chosen during setup. This certificate will appear as a selectable choice in the Server Preferences Info panel, as well as various service plugins in Server Admin. Server Preferences Server Preferences in SnowLeopard no longer manages the Adaptive Firewall present in Mac OS X (non-server). If you have an AirPort Extreme or TimeCapsule, it will manage portmappings if you enable it to do so (either in Server Assistant or Server Preferences). Otherwise it will manage IPFW. Certificate Management Certificate management has been entirely rewritten in Snow Leopard Server to make use of Mac OS XCertificate Assistant. Please use Server Admin or Server Preferences togenerate a signing request and obtain an SSL certificate. We would liketo get coverage with different certificate providers. Directory Services Directory Utility.app, formerly located in /Applications/Utilities/ is no longer the primary mechanism for binding to Open Directory and Active Directory. The new binding UI is in System Preferences->Accounts->Login Options->Directory Services. From this sheet, you can also open Directory Utility.app if you need it for more advanced LDAP or Active Directory binding. Open Directory OpenLDAP has been updated to 2.4.11, and the LDAP server (slapd) has been enhanced to support a much larger number of connections.
