MacOS – Reset AFP permissions after uninstalling Mavericks Server

afpmacososx-serverpermission

I just uninstalled Mavericks Server by dragging it to the trash and I'm finding that my AFP server no longer has access to serve files from the root of each drive. Can anyone help restore the default sharing permissions?

Best Answer

You may be able to configure the AFP parameter admin31GetsSp, to allow administrators to mount entire volumes through AFP by performing this Terminal command:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer admin31GetsSp -bool false

It is most likely necessary to stop and start AFP services after making this change.

MacOS – Start AFP Sharing on server before user login

I would set up a user to automatically log in and lock the screen immediately with a password (or as close to immediately as you care.) That will mount the external drive and start up sharin for all users.

Alternatively, you could drop the $20 on OS X server and have it mount shares at boot like you rightly expect a server to behave.
