3 To advertise the AFP share point using both Network Service Location (NSL) and
Bonjour, select “Enable Bonjour registration.”
This option lets clients browse for the share point using the Mac OS X “Connect to
Server” command or the Mac OS 9 Network Browser.
For NSL registration to work, you must also enable IP multicasting on your network
routers. See the network services administration guide for more information about
Service Location Protocol (SLP) and IP multicasting.
4 To allow Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 clients to find your file server using the Chooser,
select “Enable browsing with AppleTalk.”
For Chooser browsing to work, AppleTalk must be enabled on both the client computer
and the server. Clients can then see the server in the Chooser, but will need to connect
using TCP/IP.
5 If you have Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 clients with special language needs, choose the
appropriate character set from the “Encoding for older clients” pop-up menu.
When Mac OS 9 and earlier clients are connected, the server converts file names from
the system’s UTF-8 to the chosen set. This has no effect on Mac OS X client users.
6 In the Logon Greeting field, type the message you want users to see when they
connect.
Note: The message does not appear when a user logs in to his or her home directory.
7 To prevent users from seeing the greeting repeatedly, select “Do not send same
greeting twice to the same user.”
8 Click Save.
From the Command Line
You can also change the AFP service settings using the serveradmin command in
Terminal or by modifying the AFP preferences file. For more information, see the file
services chapter of the command-line administration guide.
Changing Access Settings
The Access pane of AFP Settings in Server Admin lets you control client connections
and guest access.
To configure AFP service Access settings:
1 Open Server Admin and select AFP in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings, then click Access.
3 Choose the authentication method you want to use: Standard, Kerberos, or Any
Method.
4 To allow unregistered users to access AFP share points, select “Enable Guest access.”
Guest access is a convenient way to provide occasional users with access to files and
other items, but for better security, don’t select this option.
