- Title: NetWare for Mac v3.0 UAM - AppleShare Conflict
-
- Bulletin Date: 4/1/90 Revision 1.0
-
- Category: APP Sub-Category: Server
- S/W Product: v3.0 NWMAC H/W Product:
- Version Affected: 3.0
-
- Operating System: NW v3.11 Rev:
- System and Hardware:
- Application: UAM
-
- Symptom: If you mount another volume on a server to which you're
- currently attached via the UAM, you will crash (either
- right away or very shortly). If you don't crash right away,
- then the Chooser window will go transparent (that is, the
- white background becomes transparent) and you will be unable
- to close the window (you can click in the close box and it
- will highlight, but the window won't go away). The volume
- does not mount. Things go downhill rapidly from there.
- There's no problem with the server, so your previously
- mounted volumes remain mounted and you might even be able
- to access them before you crash. The best bet is immediately
- to restart.
-
- Problem: There is an incompatibility problem between the AppleShare
- RDEV in the Macintosh Chooser and third-party user-
- authentication methods, such as the NetWare UAM software.
- Apple is aware of the problem and will fix it in the next
- release of their system software. In the meantime, you must
- patch the AppleShare RDEV to use the NetWare UAM on servers
- with multiple volumes.
-
- Solution or
- Work-around: The AppleShare Updater is an application that will patch
- the AppleShare RDEV to make it work correctly with the
- NetWare UAM. If you support Macintosh clients on NetWare
- v3.11 servers with multiple volumes and wish to use
- encrypted passwords, you can obtain this application from
- two bulletin board services. On AppleLink, the AppleShare
- Updater application is located below "Third Parties," under
- Novell in the NetWare for Macintosh folder. On CompuServe's
- NetWire, it is located below NOVA Library 16 or 8; the
- file's name on NetWire is ASUPDTR.SIT. If you are unable
- to obtain this application from either of these sources,
- you can contact Novell's Macintosh Technical Services
- Department by calling 1-800-NETWARE.
