206 Chapter 10 Managing Preferences
Additionally, if you make the maximum size of the local home folder smaller than the
network home disk quota, you can provide more flexibility for handling files with sync
conflicts.
If a mobile account is protected with FileVault, the user must be logged in to share files
using File Sharing.
To enable FileVault for mobile accounts:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4 Click Mobility, click Account Creation, and then click Creation.
5 Set the management setting to Always.
6 Select “Create mobile account when user logs in to network account.”
This option must be selected to enable a mobile account for the selected account.
7 To allow the user to choose not to create a local home folder (so that instead of a
mobile account, the user logs in with a network account), select “Require confirmation
before creating mobile account.”
If you require a master password but the user logs in to computers without master
passwords set, selecting this allows the user to log in with a network account.
8 Click Options.
9 Select “Encrypt contents with FileVault,” then select “Use master password, if available”
or “Require computer master password.”
If you select “Use master password, if available,” the mobile account uses FileVault
regardless of whether there is a master password already set.
If you select “Require computer master password” and there is no master password set,
the user might be able to log in with a network account, depending on whether you
selected “Require confirmation before creating mobile account” in the Creation pane.
10 To restrict the size of the local home folder, select “Restrict size” and select “to fixed size”
or “to percentage of network home quota”; then enter a value that is less than the size
of your network home folder’s disk quota.
If you didn’t set a disk quota, select “to fixed size.”
For more information about setting a disk quota, see “Creating a Network Home
Folder” on page 123.
