9.7.1 Creating and modifying global home directories<br />

Global home directories can be created in a number of ways:<br />

9.7 Global home directories<br />

• Via the user management of <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager (POSIX (Linux/UNIX) settings and Win-<br />

dows settings)<br />

• Via the Samba configuration<br />

• Via the file /etc/fstab<br />

In any case, the server used must provide a /home share. This is the case as standard when Create<br />

home share was selected during the installation.<br />

9.7.1.1 POSIX (Linux/UNIX) settings<br />

The configuration of the POSIX (Linux/UNIX) settings is done in the <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager user<br />

management on the POSIX (Linux/UNIX) tab. This setting must be configured separately for each user.<br />

The file share on the server is stated under Home share, below which the home directory can be found.<br />

This is usually /home. The directory below the share which will be used as the home directory must be<br />

given under Home share path. This is usually the username.<br />

On the clients, the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variable homedir/mount is used to control whether<br />

the mountable share is actually mounted. This variable is set to no for managed and mobile clients as<br />

standard. If this variable is set to yes or does not exist, the stated share will automatically be mounted at<br />

the user log-in to the client.<br />

9.7.1.2 Windows settings<br />

The configuration of Windows settings is performed in the <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager user man-<br />

agement on the Windows tab. Here the network path to be used as the home directory, e.g.,<br />

\\fileserver\smith, can be given in the Windows home path field. This setting must be performed<br />

separately for each user.<br />

The user profile continues to be saved on the Samba server used to log in. If the user profile is also<br />

to be saved in a certain share, this should be entered in the Windows profile directory field, e.g.,<br />

\\fileserver\smith\windows-profiles\WinXP.<br />

9.7.1.3 Global configuration in Samba<br />

If the Windows settings are to be set for all users, it is recommendable to do this directly in the Samba<br />

configuration. In addition, the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variable samba/homedirserver should<br />

be set to the file server on all Samba log-in servers. For this, the server must be specified which hosts<br />

the home directories. If the Windows user profiles are also to be saved centrally, this must be configured<br />

using the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variable samba/profileserver.<br />
