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 privileges.
- 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.
