Registered Users
Registered Users must supply a name and password to access your
computer. You can assign a unique set of access privileges to each Reg-
istered User you define. Registered Users can access your computer,
using any of the services you assigned to their account, anytime Tim-
buktu Pro is running on your computer.
1.
In the Define Users dialog box, click New.
2.
Select the user type, enter the user name, specify a password (if
required), and assign services.
•
Mac OS X Users (and members of Mac OS X user groups) can
make secure connections through SSH tunnels. They are
known as System-Authenticated Users because they are
authenticated at the OS level, rather than by Timbuktu Pro.
•
Timbuktu Users use the same connection protocol as in previ-
ous versions of Timbuktu Pro. These Registered Users are
authenticated by Timbuktu Pro when they connect.
