Among those I’m really looking forward to: File Sharing for iPads, via the WebDAV protocol (please let this work better than the Finder’s WebDAV implementation) integration of Mac OS X Lion Server’s e-mail and calendar servers into Apple’s Push Notification infrastructure (meaning Apple clients connected to Apple servers will get push notification of e-mail and calendar data) easier shared calendar setups in iCal Server and an update to the Mail server’s Webmail. There are a bunch of other improvements and new features coming in Mac OS X Lion Server.

Profile Manager alone would be a great reason to upgrade to Lion Server. If all my clients have to be on Lion to remove MCX from my toolset, I could live with that, too. But, given how twitchy MCX can be and how well Mobile Device Management works, I certainly wouldn’t shed a tear if that were the case. I have no idea whether Profile Manager will replace Apple’s MCX system for managing Macs and users. It will also help you manage your Macs and your users. Even better-er: You’ll get PM-along with the rest of Lion Server-for $49.īut wait, there’s more: Profile Manager isn’t just for iOS. Even better, from my experience working with Mobile Device Management products, I’d bet that a Mac mini will be a good choice as server for PM the computing requirements should actually be quite small. Much as iOS 5 will make it easier to manage your own iOS devices, Profile Manager will radically simplify the management iOS devices for IT departments. Apple is fixing that in Mac OS X Lion Server, by including a new management tool: Profile Manager.īased on what little information I’ve been able to find, Profile Manager is an Apple implementation of its Mobile Device Management APIs that will allow you to enroll and manage iOS devices without connecting them to iTunes or the iPhone Configuration Utility. It was as if Microsoft made you buy an IBM product to manage Exchange. Oh sure, it was doable from a Mac, but you had to pay for third-party software. With Mac OS X Lion Server, Apple finally deals with an embarassing problem: There was no Apple-provided way to manage large numbers of iOS devices. But an 80 percent price cut? That’s not bad. PS: thanks to airwin for the idea of using a DAV server and the tip on using set - $(echo $) to split a string into pieces.Obviously, in-place upgrades aren’t always the best solution, and there are still some unanswered questions about both price and distribution. Change its value in both of your environments to point to some file in a subdirectory of your DAV mount. Type about:config in Firefox and look for the variable.

Adblock Plus makes this easy since it uses a config variable to locate the patterns.ini file. My goal was to share my Adblock filters between my various Firefox profiles. Needless to say: the latter is the easiest, but not the fastest/best solution. If you are using Mac OS X, root has ownership of the Apache setting file (/etc/httpd/nf). You can create a launchd daemon, write a login hook or use an application/script as a login item. Enable authentication before using a WebDAV server. There're a number of methods for that as well. The example configuration file is located at: /etc/Apache2/original/extra/nf Copy this file to the website configuration path with a new filename. The tricky part will be the automatic execution upon login. Make a copy of the example WebDAV configuration file and move it to OS X Server’s website configuration directory. Once that control panel is loaded, select the Servicestab. You can use it as it is (in a shell script of course) or wrap it up in a script similiar to what I supplied for linux (Mac has /bin/sh too so probably you won't need too much work there to get it going) to make it more generic. To do this, open up the System Preferencesapplication and select the Networkicon. Spawn mount_webdav -i /Users/youruser/Network/ mount.fusedav and grant execute permissions on it):

I've written a small script to allow easy mounting of predefined DAV resources. It's a user-space (FUSE) implementation of a DAV client.

In case of Ubuntu (or Debian) you can install fusedav. If you've got DAV working, you just have to set up in both work environments an automount of the DAV directory. You can use DAV Explorer to check whether everything works. Read the mod_dav guide for either Apache 1.3.x or Apache 2.2.x. I won't go into details on setting up a WebDAV server. I already had WebDAV set up to share my Lightning calendar, so I was already half way there. Here's the story.Īs the title already says: I choose to use a WebDAV server to share the Adblock filters (in your Firefox profile it's the adblockplus/patterns.ini file).

I've a nice set of Adblock filters and I started thinking how to share the same filter set between my home Firefox profile and my profile at work. I use a Mac at home and Ubuntu at work, but in both cases I use Firefox to browse the web.
