Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 86)

A user authentication map (UAM) is a software program that prompts users for an account name and password before
they log in to a server. The Macintosh Chooser has a standard UAM built in that 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 may 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 run the Microsoft
UAM Installer again.
Installing User Authentication
Log in 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. Create a user with a password of less than eight characters.
a. Log in to the NAS Manager.
See " Logging in to the NAS Manager " in "NAS Manager."
b. Click Users.
c. Click New.
d. Complete the information in the Create New User window and click OK.
NOTE: The password can be no longer than eight characters. Passwords longer than eight characters cannot
be used when mapping an Apple share without a UAM.
2. Click Chooser on the Macintosh Apple menu.
3. 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.
4. Select the system from the list of file servers, and click OK.
5. Click Registered User.
6. Enter the user name and password you created in step 1, and then click OK.
7. Select the Microsoft UAM Volume, and then click OK.
8. Close the Chooser dialog box.
To install the authentication files on the Macintosh workstation, perform the following steps:
1. Double-click Microsoft UAM Volume on the Macintosh desktop.
2. Double-click the Microsoft UAM Installer file on the Microsoft UAM volume.
3. Click Continue in the Installer Welcome screen.
The installer reports whether the installation succeeded.
If the installation succeeded, Macintosh users of this workstation are offered Microsoft Authentication when they connect
to the system.
