TOPIC

    From my Macintosh I am unable to save my name and password for automatic log-on to the AppleShare IP file server; the option is dimmed. Can you help?


DISCUSSION

    Figure 1 shows the dialog box you describe. The option is dimmed because the setting "Enable users to save password for automatic log on" is disabled on the server.


    Figure 1: Save My Name and Password is disabled.

    The option to allow users to save their name and password can be enabled by running the AppleShare IP Web & File Admin program. Follow these steps:

    1. From the server, open the AppleShare IP Web & File Admin program.
    2. Choose Web & File Server Settings... from the Server menu. The window shown in Figure 2 will appear.
    3. Select Password from the window's pop-up menu.
    4. Enable the checkbox titled "Enable users to save password for automatic log on."
