Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server - Manual (Page 32)

Registering users
Once you have configured the ports, you should register users and select dial-in
and callback options for them. There are several ways in which you can
register users. You can
m use the Users & Groups Data File from AppleShare if you have installed the
Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server on the same computer as your
AppleShare server
m create a new User List using the Remote Access Manager software
m create or amend a User List by importing data from another application (for
more information about this process, refer to Chapter 4)
Sharing user database information with AppleShare
If you have installed the Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server on the same
computer as your AppleShare server, the user database is shared between
Apple Remote Access and AppleShare. The user database is called the User
List in Apple Remote Access and the Users & Groups Data File in AppleShare.
All users from the AppleShare Users & Groups Data File appear in the Remote
Access Manager User List as registered users, but you must select login and
callback options for them. Remote Access Manager does not support the
AppleShare Groups feature; any groups that you have created with AppleShare
do not appear in the User List.
IMPORTANT Any changes you make to the User List, such as adding or deleting
users, will affect the AppleShare Users & Groups Data File.
Any changes that you make to a User information window, such as changing
the login name or password, also affects the AppleShare Users & Groups Data
File. For more information about changing users’ settings, refer to “Creating a
New User,” later in this chapter, and Chapter 4.
