Guest access is a convenient way to provide occasional users with access to files and other
items in share points that allow guest access. For better security, do not select this option.

Note: If you allow guest access for Apple file service, AFP lets you control guest access for
individual share points.

See “Configuring Apple File Protocol (AFP) Share Points” on page 212.

Under the “Maximum client connections (including Guests)” option:

Select Unlimited if you don’t want to limit the number of users who can be connected to
your server at one time.

Enter a number if you want to limit the number of simultaneous users.

The maximum number of simultaneous users is also limited by the type of license you have. For

applications.
