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.

Log in to the NAS Manager.

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

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

Click Registered User.

6.

 

Enter the user name and password you created in step 1, and then click OK.

Close the Chooser dialog box.

To install the authentication files on the Macintosh workstation, perform the following steps:

1.

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 succeeds.

If the installation succeeds, Macintosh users of this workstation are offered Microsoft Authentication when they connect to the system.

Restarting Workstation Services

If File Services for Macintosh cannot establish communications to the local RPC service, you may need to restart the Workstation Service.

To restart the Workstation Service, perform the following steps:

1.

 

Log in to the NAS Manager.

2.

 

Click Maintenance, and then click Terminal Services.

NOTE:

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

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.
