I am setting up At Ease for Workgroups for the first time, and I would like to know the best way to configure the AppleShare IP server for At Ease.
DISCUSSION
Part 1: On the AppleShare IP Serve r
1. Create a new folder on the hard drive and name it something like "At Ease Volume." (The actual name is not important, but if you change it, make sure it is consistent everywhere. This article refers to it as the "At Ease Volume")
2. In the AppleShare IP Web & File Administration application, open the Users & Groups list from the Users menu and create a new user. Name the user something like "At Ease User" and give this user a password that you will remember. Then click "Save."
Important: Do not select the option to enable this user to administer to the server. Doing so will give the user full access to the server hard drives and will override any sharing settings. See Figure 1.

3. In the AppleShare IP Web & File Administration application, in the Server menu, select Show Disks and Share Points. Click the triangle to the left of the hard drive name to display its contents. Find the At Ease Volume in the list of hard drive contents and double-click it to open its privileges window. Clicking the triangle to the left of the hard drive name will display its contents. See Figure 2.

4. In the Privileges: At Ease Volume window, select the option "Make this a share point and set privileges." Then, from the Users & Groups list, drag the new At Ease User into the Owner field in the Privileges: At Ease Volume window. Next, give the At Ease User read and write access to the At Ease Volume by choosing the icon with the glasses and the pencil to the right of the name field for the At Ease User. Click Save to save the privileges. See Figure 3.

5. Now, when you select the Share Points button in the "Disks and Share Points" window, the At Ease Volume will show up as a shared folder. See Figure 4.

Part 2: On the At Ease Administration Station
1. Launch the At Ease Administration application. You will then see the At Ease Setup Helper window. Click the button to select an AppleShare server and At Ease Volume. See Figure 5.

3. You will then receive a message asking you if you wish to configure the server; choose Yes. In the window that appears next, the default name in the volume field will be the name of the hard drive of the AppleShare server. See Figure 7.

4. Open the pull-down menu by volume name and choose the At Ease Volume. If it does not appear in the list, choose Other Location..., then enter the name of the At Ease Volume and click OK. See Figure 8.

5. Click the Registered User button next to "Log in as:". Now enter the name and password of the At Ease User just created in step 2.
Note: Do not enter the AppleShare Administrator name and password. See Figure 9.
