Install authentication files on the Macintosh client

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To install the authentication files on the Macintosh client

Open Chooser, click AppleShare, select the AppleTalk zone in which the computer running Services for Macintosh is located, and then select that file server. Continue to connect and select the Microsoft UAM volume as the item you want to use.
On the Macintosh Desktop, double-click the Microsoft UAM volume to open it.
Double-click MS UAM Installer.

Note

When Macintosh users connect to the computer running Services for Macintosh, authentication will be offered.

How this is done depends on the Macintosh system the user is running. If a Macintosh computer is running System 7.1 or later and the plaintext and guest options are disabled at the server level, users will be given only one choice: Microsoft Authentication. Earlier systems will show both choices: Microsoft Authentication and plaintext password protection in the form of the Apple standard UAMs, even if the plaintext and guest logon options have been disabled and are unavailable to clients.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
