TOPIC

    This article discusses the AppleShare IP 6 (ASIP) logon behavior for Windows File Sharing (SMB) clients.

DISCUSSION

    The logon behavior for Windows File Sharing (SMB) clients is different from the logon behavior for AppleShare clients. The following discusses the behavior for connecting via SMB:

    Guest access disabled

    ASIP will require a valid user name and password for the user to be given access.
    • If the user name and/or password is invalid, access is denied.
    • If the account is disabled, access is denied.

    Behavior varies from client to client if access is denied. For example,
    • Windows 95: allows password reentry.
    • Windows 98: allows password reentry.
    • Windows NT 4.0: allows user name and password reentry.

    Guest access enabled

    ASIP will determine the access level based on the following criteria:
    • If the user name and password are valid, it will log the user on with user priviledges.
    • If the user name is valid but the password is incorrect, it will log the user on as guest.
    • If the user name is not valid, it will log the user on as guest.
    • If the account is disabled, it will log on the user as guest.
