Access Connect supports Active Directory. When Macintosh users connect to the Access Connect server, they enter their user names and passwords. Access Connect authenticates this account against the primary domain of the Windows machine that it is running on. If this machine is not a member of a domain, the account must be a member of the local accounts that appear in Windows User Manager. If the machine is a member of a domain, then the user name you give the Macintosh user must be either a member of the primary domain, the local accounts, or a trusted domain.
You may specify to be authenticated against a specific domain by prefixing the user name with the domain name and a backslash (\). For example, to authenticate the user name Joe from the Marketing domain, in the user name portion of your AFP client logon enter MARKETING\joe. Access Connect clients on Mac OS 9 see a server name in their Chooser only if the AppleTalk protocol is installed on the Windows server and the client’s connection to the server supports AppleTalk.
Note: Macintosh OS 9 users can connect to a server, even if they cannot see the server name in the Chooser, by clicking AppleShare and then Server IP Address in the Chooser and entering the server IP address or DNS name.
