Specifications
Server administrators don’t see share points the same way a user does over AFP Â
because administrators see everything on the server.
To see share points from a user’s perspective, select “Enable administrator to
masquerade as any registered user” in the Access pane of the Settings pane of AFP
service in Server Admin. You can also log in using a user’s name and password.
Although DNS is not required for le services, an incorrectly congured DNS could Â
cause a le service to fail. For more information about DNS conguration, see
Network Services Administration.
If Users Can’t Open Their Home Folder
If users can’t open their home folder:
Make sure the share point used for home folders is set up as an automount for Â
home folders in Server Admin.
Make sure the share point is created in the same Open Directory domain as Â
user accounts.
Make sure the client computer is set to use the correct Open Directory domain Â
using Directory Services in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
If Users Can’t Find a Volume or Folder to Use as a Share Point
If users can’t nd a volume or folder to use as a share point:
Make sure the volume or folder name does not contain a slash (“/”) character. Â
The Share Points pane of Server Admin lists the volumes and folders on your server
but it can’t correctly display the names of volumes and folders that include the
slash character.
Make sure you’re not using special characters in the name of the volume or folder. Â
If Users Can’t See the Contents of a Share Point
If you set Write Only access privileges to a share point, users can’t see its contents.
Change the access privileges to Read Only or to Read & Write.

If Users Can’t Find the AFP Server

Make sure the network settings are correct on the user’s computer and on the Â
computer that is running AFP service. If you can’t connect to other network
resources from the user’s computer, the network connection might not be working.
