Registered User can enter their user name and password to access your computer
using any of the services you assigned to the Registered User account.
In Timbuktu Pro version 8, there are two types of Registered Users:
•
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 Tim-
buktu Pro—they are authenticated by Mac OS X when they connect (or by the
Windows operating system when connecting to a Windows computer). They
require Timbuktu Pro version 8, as well as a Mac OS X user name and pass-
word on your computer.
•
Timbuktu Users use the same connection protocol used in previous versions
of Timbuktu Pro. These Registered Users are authenticated by Timbuktu Pro
when they connect. They may be using an older version of Timbuktu Pro, and
they do not require Mac OS X access credentials on your computer.
For both types of Registered Users, you can require the user to ask for permission
each time they begin a connection to your computer.
You can create as many Registered User accounts as you wish. Registered Users
can access the services you have assigned to their accounts anytime Timbuktu
Pro is running on your computer.
Adding a Mac OS X User or User Group
To allow secure incoming connections from System-Authenticated Users on other
Timbuktu Pro version 8 computers, you will create a Registered User account for a
Mac OS X user or user group.
As a type of Registered User, each Mac OS X User account includes one or more
services. Before you create the Registered User, make sure that the user has Mac
OS X access credentials on your computer.
To define a Mac OS X Registered User
1.
From the Setup menu, choose Define Users.
2.
In the Define Users dialog box, click New.
Timbuktu Pro opens a new dialog box in which you can define the settings for
the new Registered User.
