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.
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.
Term
Definitions
Share
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.
Volume
A volume on a SnapServer is a logical partition of a RAID’s storage space
that contains a file system.
Right-click
This document uses the Windows convention in describing keyboard/mouse
access to context-sensitive menus. For example, “To rename a group, right-
click a group and then choose
Rename
.” Macintosh users should substitute
control-click to achieve the same result.
