Domain
In the Domain scenario, you configure Username Mapping on the domain controller. The
Username Mapping Service and the NT Authentication Service must be installed on the
Domain Controller. If multiple Domain Controllers are present, NT Authentication must
be installed on each Domain Controller.
File Server for Macintosh
File Server for Macintosh (FSM) provides the tools needed to integrate Macintosh and
Windows networks by leveraging existing Macintosh network resource and expertise.
Microsoft UAM Volume
A user authentication map (UAM) is a software program that prompts users for an account
name and password before they log on to a server. The Macintosh Chooser has a standard
UAM built in, which uses the clear-text password or Apple’s RandNum Exchange method
of security.
Microsoft Authentication offers an additional level of security because the password is used
as a key to encrypt a random number. If the system administrator has determined that
encryption is an important security measure, you may be asked to use Microsoft
Authentication in addition to Microsoft UAM authentication.
Requirements
To use Microsoft UAM 5.0, you must have a Macintosh client running AppleShare Client
3.8 or newer or Mac OS 8.5 or newer. If you do n ot meet these minimum requirements, the
Microsoft UAM Installer will install the old Microsoft UAM 1.0 module. If you upgrade
your system software, you will need to re-run the Microsoft UAM Installer.
Installing User Authentication
Log on to the M icrosoft UAM Volume on the system to access the MS UAM file. Then drag
this file to the AppleShare Folder in your System Folder.
