3. Specify the name and location of the file that contains the saved maps.

Basic Scenarios

For UNIX and Windows NT Username Mapping, an NIS Server must already exist in the UNIX environment or a UNIX user

and group file must exist on the PowerVault NAS appliance. Username Mapping associates UNIX users and groups to

Windows NT users and groups. You can use two types of maps, simple and advanced. Simple maps define a one-to-one

relationship between same name users and groups. Advanced maps define a relationship between dissimilar names and

groups.

Workgroup

In the Workgroup scenario, you configure Username Mapping locally on the PowerVault 715N system. All maps are

contained on this system.

Domain

In the Domain scenario, you configure Username Mapping on the domain controller. The Username Mapping Service and

the NT Authentication Service must be installed on the Domain Controller. If multiple Domain Controllers are present, NT

Authentication Service must be installed on each Domain Controller.

File Server for Macintosh

File Server for Macintosh (FSM) provides the tools needed to integrate Macintosh and Windows networks by leveraging

existing Macintosh network resource and expertise.

Microsoft UAM Volume

A user authentication map (UAM) is a software program that prompts users for an account name and password before

they log on to a server. The Macintosh Chooser has a standard UAM built in, which uses the clear-text password or

Apple's RandNum Exchange method of security.

Microsoft Authentication offers an additional level of security because the password is used as a key to encrypt a random

number. If the system administrator has determined that encryption is an important security measure, you might be

asked to use Microsoft Authentication in addition to Microsoft UAM authentication.

Requirements

To use Microsoft UAM 5.01, you must have a Macintosh client running AppleShare Client 3.8 or newer or the Mac

operating system (OS) 8.5 or newer operating system. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, the Microsoft UAM

Installer installs the old Microsoft UAM 1.0 module. If you upgrade your system software, you need to re-run the Microsoft

UAM Installer.

Installing User Authentication

Log on to the Microsoft UAM Volume on the system to access the MS UAM file, and then drag this file to the AppleShare

Folder in your System folder.

To access the Microsoft Authentication files on the system, perform the following steps:

1. Click Chooser on the Macintosh Apple menu.

2. Double-click the AppleShare icon, and then click the AppleTalk zone in which the system with Services for

Macintosh resides.

Ask your system administrator if you are not sure of the zone.

3. Select the system from the list of file servers, and click OK.
