ASIP 6.2 Overview

This addendum to Appleshare IP 6.0 training covers only the new features found in AppleShare IP 6.2. If you're new to AppleShare IP 6, be sure to review the AppleShare IP v6.0 and v6.1 training first, for an introduction to the product and details about its features and basic functionality.

This page gives you an overview of Appleshare IP 6.2:

The following pages on Installation & Use provide details on using the new features introduced with this new version.

 

What's New in AppleShare IP 6.2

This update to AppleShare IP 6.1 offers performance improvements, human interface enhancements, plus some exciting new features, described briefly below.

 

  • Shared User & Group: A primary AppleShare IP 6.2 web and file server can now share its User and Group data with secondary AppleShare IP 6.2 servers on a network. Administrators will only have to maintain one primary User & Group datafile for the entire network.

  • Home Directory support: Administrators can use Home Directory to automatically create virtual share points for registered users to store their files on the server.

  • Sherlock indexing of shared folders : The AppleShare IP administrator can now create a separate Sherlock index file for each share point. Only one index can exist for a share point.

  • Sherlock Web plug-in: You can use the Sherlock Web plug-in to search the contents of a Web folder. To enable this, the administrator uses the Sherlock application to create an index for the volume on which the Web folder is located (not for the web folder itself).

  • Automatic mail database verification: The AppleShare IP 6 Mail Server checks and verifies the mail database every time you start up the server or after a set period of time.

  • Support for Real-time Black-hole List (RBL) anti-spam sites: The Mail Server allows you to prevent unwanted mail by checking and blocking a connection.

  • Remote POP account download support: In addition to ETRN, the AppleShare IP 6 Mail Server allows the administrator to contact remote POP mail servers to retrieve mail.

  • New queue setting for placing new jobs on hold: AppleShare IP 6 Print Server now allows you to place a print queue's incoming jobs on hold. This allows the user to release jobs one at a time without putting the queue on hold.

  • Secure printing queues for Windows clients: AppleShare IP 6 Print Server allows Windows-based LPD clients access to a secure (non-password) print queue. The Print Server reads the control file that contains the user name to determine access to the queue

System Requirements

Server Requirements for 6.2:

AppleShare 6.2 has the following new requirements:

  • Mac OS system software 8.6 only
  • Any Apple Power Macintosh computer, iMac, or Macintosh Server with a PowerPC™ G3, 604e, 604, 603e, 6500 series, or 601 microprocessor.

  • 64 MB of RAM minimum (with virtual memory turned on), 80 MB or more recommended (with virtual memory turned off)
  • A minimum of 75 MB of disk space

 

Client Requirements:

Client requirements are the same as with ASIP 6.0, with these additions:

  • When attempting to use password-protected printing to a secure ASIP Print queue, Mac OS 8.5 with LaserWriter 8.6.1 is required.

  • Remote Web Administration requires at the client Netscape Navigator 3.0.1 or later , Netscape Communicator 4.0 or later, and Internet Explorer 3.0 or later.

    Other web browsers that support frames and Java may also work, but these browsers have not been tested, and thus are not supported, by the Apple Technical Support team. Apple recommends Netscape Communicator 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0, or greater.
