Adapter Bindings

 

FSM can bind to only one network adapter. By default, it is bound to the embedded 10/100TX Network Adapter. To change the binding in systems with multiple
network adapters, the AppleTalk protocol properties for the network adapter to be used by AppleTalk must be modified to accept inbound connections.

 

AppleTalk Protocol Adapter Binding

 

To modify the AppleTalk protocol adapter binding for systems with multiple network adapters, perform the following steps from the NAS Manager:

1.

 

Log in to the NAS Manager.

2.

 

Click Network.

3.

 

Click Interfaces.

4.

 

Click the radio button next to an enabled adapter to bind the AppleTalk protocol.

 

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