6 Type your new user’s name in the Name text box.
The name can be up to 31 characters long and is not case-sensitive.
The name is also used by the Mail Server to identify the user when his or her e-mail
application logs on to the Mail Server.
7 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 and is case-sensitive. 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 pressed.)
For increased security, use eight-character passwords with a combination of letters and
numbers.
If this user will be using the Mail Server, don’t use spaces and special characters. (Some client
mail applications do not recognize special characters or spaces.)
8 To give this user 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 contain only numbers and unaccented
uppercase and lowercase letters.
The user enters this alias to connect to the Web & File Server. The Mail Server uses this alias
to identify the user’s mail application.
Note: If the user name does not include spaces or special characters, an Internet alias is not
necessary.
9 Click Save.
The new user is created and appears in the Users & Groups List window.
Note: If the Owner Name of the computer includes spaces or special characters, you should
assign yourself an Internet alias now. Double-click the name in the Users & Groups List
window, enter an Internet alias using the guidelines in step 8, then click Save. You can use
your Internet alias to log on to administer any AppleShare IP servers for which you are the
administrator.
Important If this user will be connecting to the Web & File Server for Windows file sharing
services, enter the name that the user enters to log on to his or her Windows computer.
