Apple AppleShare IP 6.0 - Manual (Page 46)

46 Chapter 2
Registering a User for the First Time
If this is the first time you’ve used a version of AppleShare on your computer, you need to
register the users who will need access to your servers. Each registered user has a name and
(optionally) a password that authenticates the user when he or she logs on.
In this section, you’ll create just one user. After you’ve completed this chapter, you should
refer to the instructions in AppleShare IP Help to register your remaining users, and learn
about creating groups, enabling guest access, and related tasks.
If you upgraded from a previous version of AppleShare or Macintosh file sharing, the users
and groups you’ve already created are still available. You can skip this section and go to
“Setting Up File Sharing for the First Time” on page 49.
Note: You can create registered users through the Web & File Admin program or the Mail
Admin program. This chapter shows you how to register users through the Web & File Admin
program.
To register a user through the Web & File Admin program, follow these steps:
1 In the AppleShare IP Manager window, click the Open Web & File Admin button.
Note: You can open any of the server administration programs in three ways:
m Click one of the Open Admin buttons in the AppleShare IP Manager window.
m Choose one of the Open Admin commands from the File menu in the AppleShare IP
Manager program.
m Double-click the administration program’s icon in the appropriate folder in the
AppleShare IP 6.0 folder.
The Administer Web & File Server dialog box appears, with the Owner Name that you
entered in the File Sharing control panel already entered in the Administrator Name field.
2 Type your password in the Password text box.
Type the Owner Password that you entered in the File Sharing control panel.
3 Click OK.
