SYMPTOMS
========
An attempt to logon to a Windows NT Advanced Server from a Macintosh as a
registered user fails.
CAUSE
=====
The Macintosh does not have the Microsoft user authentication module (UAM)
installed.
RESOLUTION
==========
Install the Microsoft UAM on the Macintosh or perform the following three steps
to reduce the security of the network and eliminate the requirement for its
use:
1. In the Control Panel, choose MacFile.
2. Choose Attributes.
3. Remove the Require Microsoft Authentication check box.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server was designed to be a secure operating
system. Windows NT Advanced Services for Macintosh maintains this security by
requiring users to use the Microsoft user authentication module (UAM) when first
logging onto the server. If a user does not have the Microsoft UAM installed,
the option to logon as a registered user is unavailable (dimmed). A logon
attempt without the UAM present would transmit the account name and password
through the network without encrypting them; a network "sniffer" could be used
to access that information.
