Section 6: Macintosh (AFP)

Zone A zone is a logical grouping of AppleTalk networks on a LAN or WAN. There can be multiple networks within a zone and, in some cases, multiple zones assigned to a network segment. An AppleTalk router is responsible for assigning zone information to the AppleTalk networks to which it is attached. You specify the zone by editing the Zone Name parameter.

Access Control Access control is used for restricting access to the shared volumes and discs on the StorPoint CD. In the Macintosh (AFP) environment you can select whether you want to use an authentication server or passwords for access control. You choose which method to use by enabling/disabling the Use Authentication Server parameter.

Authentication Server When using an authentication server, all user names and passwords will be verified against the authentication server. The user will then be granted access to specific resources depending on the permissions set for the user names used at logon.

Note: ❏ Any Macintosh computer can be defined as the Authentication Server provided it has file sharing enabled. This means the user names defined on the authentication server can be used also for the StorPoint CD.

To use this method for access control, you must enable the Use Authentication

Server parameter. How to specify the permissions is described in “Authentication

Server ” on page 75.

Passwords When using passwords, the user will be prompted for the password when trying to access the volume. The user will then be granted access to the volume and all its subfolders. You can define different passwords for specific resources.

To use passwords for access control, the Use Authentication Server parameter must be disabled. This is the default setting. How to specify passwords is described in “Passwords ” on page 76.

Recommendation! Using an authentication server for access control is the preferred method for Macintosh-based networks.

Wizard The installation Wizard is a convenient way to set up your StorPoint CD for your Macintosh (AFP) environment. It will guide you through the following:

•Defining your server name and the zone you want your StorPoint CD to appear in.

•Defining how you want to control access to shared resources.

To run the Wizard, follow the steps outlined below:

1.Start your Web browser, and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint CD in the location/address field.

2.Click admin. You will be prompted for the Server password. By default, the User Name is set to root and the Server password is set to pass.

3.Click Network Settings.
