How To Install

Mac OS > = 8.5:

To install the beta MS UAM, just drop the MS UAM binary inside your "AppleShare Folder" that is located inside your System Folder. If you do not have an AppleShare Folder because this is the first time you are installing the MS UAM, you will need to create one.

NOTE: Make sure the Chooser and Network Browser are closed before copying the binary. Otherwise, you will need to close and restart them before you can use the new MS UAM.

If you can't connet to waxwing. Create an Folder named "AppleShare Ordner" an place the file MS UAM 5.0 in it

Mac OS <= 8.1:

Why Use the MS UAM?

The Microsoft UAM provides a superior method for encrypting the passwords that you use to log into Windows AFP Servers. The standard Apple UAM provides only minimal encryption (if any) so your password could easily be intercepted on the LAN or Internet.

In addition, your passwords can be up to 14 characters long vice only 8 characters long for the standard Apple UAM's. This enables you to design a much stronger password that you can use against corporate servers or servers over the Internet.

Other benefits of the MS UAM are:

* Password expiration notices when your password is within 14 days from expiring
* Strong encryption when changing your password
* Improved UI for changing your password
* You can safely and securely change your domain password from your Mac!
* When invoked, you can easily determine what transport you are using to connect (AppleTalk or TCP/IP).
