2 Click Apple and choose Configure Apple File Service.
3 Click the Access tab.
4 Choose the authentication method you want to use: Standard, Kerberos, or Any Method.
For information about Kerberos authentication, see “Kerberos Authentication” on page 236.
5 Select “Enable Guest access” if you want to allow unregistered users to access the file server.
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 Settings for a Share Point” on page 222.
6 Select “Enable secure connections” if you want to allow clients to connect using secure AFP
(uses SSH).
7 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 limited by the type of license you have. For
example, if you have a 10-user license, then a maximum of 10 users can connect at one time.
Limiting the number of connections can free resources to be used by other services and
applications.
8 Under the “Maximum Guest connections” option:
Select Unlimited if you don’t want to limit the number of guest users who can be connected
to your server at one time.
Enter a number if you want to limit how many of your maximum client connections can be
used by guests. This number cannot be greater than the number of client connections
allowed.
9 Click Save.
