Need help setting up Open Directory network home folders
This is my scenario:
We have 3 schools that have users that we want to be using Open Directory with network home folders. The students are not 1:1 with the computers, so we want them to be able to go to whatever computer they want in their school and still have access to their network home folder when they log in.
We will have Yosemite with Server 4 installed on the servers.
We will have the Open Directory Master at one school and then Open Directory Replicas at the other 2 schools. The main concern I have is how to set up the network home folders. I would like each building's server to store the home folders for the students that belong to that school.
I can set up a file share on the Master and select the checkbox "Make available for home directories over AFP" This will allow me to select this file share when creating or editing a user and clicking the Home Folder drop down selection box. How then do I set up the file shares on the replica servers in the 2 other buildings so that they show up in this list on the Master? From what I have read, creating or editing users is only done from the OD Master. So, if I were to set up file shares on the replica servers, I don't think the shares would show up in the Home Folder drop down selection on the Master.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
