Apple Networking Configuration AFP Configuration Guidelines Consider the following when configuring access for your AFP clients. Terminology Some SnapServer terms may cause confusion for those familiar with Apple terminology. Term Definitions Share Volume Right-click A SnapServer share appears as a Macintosh volume that can be accessed through the Chooser. Note Unlike standard AppleShare servers, SnapServers allow nested shares (folders within folders). As a result, it is possible for some files or directories to appear in more than one share. A volume on a SnapServer is a logical partition of a RAID's storage space that contains a file system. This document uses the Windows convention in describing keyboard/mouse access to context-sensitive menus. For example, "To rename a group, rightclick a group and then choose Rename." Macintosh users should substitute control-click to achieve the same result. Authenticating Clients Against a Configured Windows Domain You can authenticate AFP clients against a Windows domain by navigating to Network > Apple and checking the Authenticate AFP users against Windows domains box. When domain authentication is enabled, usernames will first be authenticated against the Windows domain and then authenticated against the local database. Local and domain users with the same name will connect as the domain user. To force either local or domain authentication, prefix the username with the name of the domain to authenticate against or the name of the SnapServer. For example: mydomain\username (domain authentication) snap12345\username (local authentication) Distinguishing Share Names on the Desktop and Finder By default, the Chooser identifies SnapServer shares using only the share name. To display both the share name and the server name, the Add Server Name To Apple Shared Folder Names check box on the Network > Apple screen of the Administration Tool is enabled by default. This option allows Macintosh applications to differentiate between shared folders with the same share name on multiple servers. For example, SHARE1 on SNAP61009 refers to the share named SHARE1 on the SnapServer named SNAP61009. Chapter 2 Network Access to the Server 35
