1) If the User List is displayed, click the New button; otherwise, choose Create User from the Users menu.
A New User information window appears. Require New Password on Next Login and maximum connection time set to 60 minutes are selected by default.
2) Enter the user's name.
For sorting to work properly, enter user names first name first (for example, Joe User).
3) Type a password in the Password text box.
The user must enter this password when calling the server. Make sure to inform the user of the exact password, including capitalization.
4) Use the Remarks text box to enter information about the user, such as a department or project name.
This information is included in the server activity log when the user connects to the server and can be useful for call accounting or chargeback applications.
5) Click the Dial-in Access Enabled checkbox so that the user can log in to the server.
If you want to revoke the user's dial-in access at a later time, you can click the checkbox again to deselect this option.
6) Click the Change Password Enabled checkbox if you want to allow the user to change his or her password after logging in.
This allows the user to make user-initiated password changes. The administrator can also change passwords for any user in the User information window.
7) Click the Require New Password on Next Login checkbox to force the user to create a new password at the next login time.
This option is deselected once the user changes his or her password. This option works even if the Change Password Enabled option is not selected.
8) If necessary, click the "Maximum connection time" checkbox and enter a time in minutes if you want to limit the amount of time for which the user can connect to the server.
The default connection time is 60 minutes. You can enter another time if you wish. Deselecting this option will give the user unlimited access time.
9) If you want to require callbacks, click the "Call Back at #" checkbox and type in the callback number.
The callback number is the telephone number provided to you by a user for remote access. Selecting this option means that when the user calls the server, the server computer will temporarily disconnect the user, then immediately call the user at the number you've entered. The callback feature is optional; it provides an extra level of security, because the user must call from a specific phone number.
You enter the phone number as if you were dialing directly. Type in any dialing prefixes, such as "1" for long distance calling in the U.S. and an area code. If the server needs to dial an outside line (as in many business phone systems), type the outside line number, followed by a comma. For example, type "9,1-415-555-1234". The comma in this example indicates a pause during dialing so that the modem can connect to an outside telephone line from a PBX. The hyphens are included for readability but are not required.
10) If you selected an external security module in the Server Preferences dialog box, the name of the module appears in this dialog box with a checkbox next to it. Click the checkbox to enable the security feature for this user.
Note: If you selected the External Security Required for All Users option in the Server Preferences dialog box, the security option will already be selected. The name of the module will be dimmed, and you will not be able to deselect this option.
11) Click the Configure button to configure external security.
A dialog box appears in which you can set security parameters. Click OK when you have finished.
12) Enable access to one or more zones by making a selection from the "Allow Access to" pop-up menu in the Zones area.
You can determine which, if any, zone on your network a user can access by selecting an option from the "Allow Access to" pop-up menu. There are four options for user zone access:
* This Macintosh Only. The user has access only to the services available on the server Macintosh.
* Only Zones Listed. The user has access to the zones listed in the Zone List in the User information window. The server zone is always part of the list and cannot be deleted.
* Entire Network. The user has access to all the zones on the network.
* All Zones Except Listed. The user has access to all the zones on the network except the ones listed in the Zone List in the User information window. The zone the server is in cannot be put on this list because the user always has access to the server zone.
If you choose Only Zones Listed or All Zones Except Listed, a dialog box appears from which you select which zones will appear on the user's Zone List.
13) Select one of more zones and click Add to add these zones to the Zone List in the User information window.
14) Click Save.
