Select the contents of the Name text box and type your new user’s name.
The name can be up to 31 characters long. For example, type
Ethan Switzer
The name is not case-sensitive, so the user can type
Ethan Switzer
or
ethan switzer
when connecting (or “logging on”) to an AppleShare IP server.
The name is also the basis of the client’s e-mail address, and is used by the Mail Server to
identify the user when his or her client e-mail application logs on to the Mail Server.

If you want to assign this user a password, type it in the Password text box.
Assigning a password is highly recommended, and required for some client e-mail and FTP
applications. A password can be up to eight characters long. For each character that you type,
a bullet appears, so it is important to record what you type. (Be sure to note whether the
Caps Lock key is depressed.)
For increased security, use eight character passwords or include a combination of letters and
numbers. Passwords are case-sensitive, so users must enter their password exactly as you
type it before they can connect to an AppleShare IP server.
If this user will be using the Mail Server, make the password include only letters and
numbers, and avoid using spaces and special characters. (Some client mail applications do
not allow users to type special characters or spaces when they enter passwords.)

If you want to allow this user to use an Internet alias when logging on to an AppleShare IP
server, enter a name in the Internet Alias text box.
You need to assign an alias if this user will be using mail or FTP services and the user name
contains spaces or special characters. The alias should consist only of numbers and
unaccented uppercase and lowercase letters. For example,
ethan1
