NOTE:

The AppleTalk protocol must bind to an adapter that is enabled, regardless of whether the File Server for

Macintosh is disabled.

5. On the Tasks menu, click AppleTalk.

6. Click the check box next to Enable inbound AppleTalk connections on this adapter.

7. Optionally, if you use AppleTalk zones, select the appropriate zone in the drop-down box.

8. Click OK.

Microsoft UAM Volume

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 later or Macintosh 8.5 or later

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.

b. Click Users.

c. Click Local Users.

d. Click New.

e. 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.
