Question

Confused about access control. Please advise.

I want to control who has access to certain share points on the server such as our accounting information. What I do doesn't seem to work and I am not sure why. Here's what I've done.

- Create user account in workgroup manager (non administrator) - using LDAPv3/127.0.0.1

- Share the folder (Quickbooks) on the server via AFP

- Add the user account to the ACL list for the folder I just shared (set to Read and Write)

- Connect to server from separate computer using the user account login/password info I set up in workgroup manager

Result = You entered an invalid username or password. Please try again.

Any ideas?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Maybe you don't have access to the AFP Service, check if you restricted access to AFP

What version of server are you running. My snow leopard server admin doesn't look like that. In any case, I am the admin for our server. It works for my account, but not other's I have set up in the LDAP directory.

I am using Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8, that utility is Server Admin, are you using Server Preferences?

This is server admin

My mistake. Your were right all along. I ever paid attention to the AFP settings there because I've always adjusted that through the specific share permission options.

Thanks.
