About This Guide
This guide tells you how to set up and manage a web
server, websites, and use open source web technologies.
What’s New in Version 10.4
• Weblog service. Mac OS X Server provides a multiuser weblog server that complies
with the RSS and Atom XML standards. Weblog service supports Open Directory
authentication. For additional safety, users can access Weblog service using a website
that’s SSL-enabled. Detailed coverage of weblogs is provided in Chapter 3, “Weblog
Service,” of the collaboration services administration guide.
• Certificate Management. Server Admin makes it easy to manage SSL certificates that
can be used by web, mail, Open Directory, and other services that support them. You
can create a self-signed certificate, and generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
to obtain an SSL certificate from an issuing authority and install the certificate.
Certificate management controls are part of the mail component in Mac OS X Server.
• WebObjects. Mac OS X Server includes the WebObjects run-time libraries and an
unlimited deployment license, making it the ideal platform for your J2EE-compatible
WebObjects applications. Also provided are easy-to-use graphical tools for
configuring and monitoring WebObjects from within the Server Admin application.
