A name can be up to 31 characters long.
3. Enter a password.
A password can be up to 8 characters long. Users must enter their passwords exactly as
you have set them up. (Uppercase and lowercase letters must match.)
4. Select this user's AppleShare options.
An X should appear in the checkboxes for the options you've selected. To deselect an
option, click the checkbox so the X does not appear.
Here's a brief summary of how these options function:
- Login Enabled lets the user log on to the file server. You must select this option to
let the user gain access to the file server.
- Change Password Enabled lets the user change his or her own password.
- All Privileges Enabled gives the user access to all volumes and folders on the server
computer, regardless of whether you've shared them. Unless you have a specific reason to
do so, do not select this option.
- Require New Password on Next Login makes the user change his or her password the first
time he or she logs on to the file server. This feature lets you assign simple pass-words
while setting up accounts, and then requires users to choose more secure passwords when
they first log on.
!! IMPORTANT Do not use this feature for Apple II or IBM PC users. !!
- Program Linking Enabled allows a user to create a link between a program on the server
and a program on his or her computer. Unless you have a specific reason to do so, do not
select this option.
If other networking services are installed on the server computer, the list of options
may be longer.
!! WARNING Selecting the All Privileges Enabled and Program Linking options pose
potential security risks. They should be assigned only after you are certain you
understand their use. See the AppleShare Server 3.0 Administrator's Guide for more
information. !!
5. Click Save to confirm the entries.
6. Close the user information window.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each user you want to register.
Allowing or denying guest access
If you allow guest access, anyone connected to the network can log on to the file server.
If you deny guest access, only registered users can log on. The program is preset to deny
guest access; to deny guess access, do nothing -- skip now to the next section, "Setting
Up and Adding Members to Groups." If you are upgrading from AppleShare 2.0, guest access
is set to whatever it was before upgrading.
!! IMPORTANT If you are not sure whether to allow guest access, do nothing for now. You
can always change your mind later. !!
