Prepare for CIFS/AFP

If you have CIFS (Microsoft* Windows* native networking workstations) and AFP (Apple* Macintosh* native networking workstations) users in your network and you want them to log in to your new NetWare 6.5 or OES NetWare server, one of the following two options must be implemented:

In summary, NMAS must either exist on, or be added to, a server that has a read/write replica of the partition, or a read/write replica of the partition must be added to the new server.

Important: For a more detailed description of this issue and the reasons behind the preceding recommendations, see "Prepare to Install CIFS and AFP" in the OES Native File Access Protocols Guide.

Note: NMAS is included on NetWare 6.0 and 6.5 by default and it can be added to NetWare 5.1 with eDirectory 8. NMAS cannot be added to a server running NetWare 4x or NetWare 5.1 with NDS 7 or 8. For more information on NMAS, see the Novell Modular Authentication Services (NMAS) Administration Guide.
