PREFACE

Welcome to AppleShare IP 6.2

This book explains how to install and set up AppleShare IP 6.2 and Mac OS 8.6 system software. A separate book, Mac OS 8.6 Installation Manual, provides additional information on Mac OS 8.6. See that book if you need more help installing the Mac OS.

AppleShare IP is a general purpose suite of server software that provides a variety of network services. AppleShare IP provides ﬁle sharing, World Wide Web, mail, and print services to clients on local area networks (LANs), intranets, and the Internet. With AppleShare IP, your server can handle a large number of clients, and you can control security, deﬁne the type of access for clients, and monitor your server’s activity.

New key features in AppleShare IP 6.2 include Mac OS 8.6 compatibility, ability to share users and groups information between servers, option to automatically create user home directories, Sherlock indexing capabilities, automatic hiding of non-accessible share points, automatic mail database veriﬁcation, support for Realtime Blackhole List anti-spam, support for remote POP account download, a queue setting to place new print jobs on hold, and secure print queues for Windows clients.

AppleShare IP Software Components

Here is a brief description of the AppleShare IP suite of products and where to ﬁnd help for using them. (To learn how to access Help onscreen, see “Using the Onscreen Help” on page 7.)

m The AppleShare IP Web & File Server program allows your computer to host a Web site

and provides three types of ﬁle sharing services: AppleShare File Sharing (using the Apple Filing Protocol, or AFP) via TCP/IP or AppleTalk networks, Windows File Sharing (using the SMB/CIFS protocol via TCP/IP), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). You manage Web and ﬁle services on your server using the Web & File Admin program.

Help is available onscreen in Tips and AppleShare IP Help.

m The AppleShare IP Mail Server program provides integrated mail storage and mail

forwarding services over TCP/IP and AppleTalk networks, including support for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPv4), Post Ofﬁce Protocol (POP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). You manage mail services on your server using the Mail Admin program.

Help is available onscreen in Tips and AppleShare IP Help.

m The AppleShare IP Print Server program manages communication with the printers on

your AppleTalk or TCP/IP network by allowing the server to act as a repository for print jobs. You can also set up secure print queues to control who can print. You manage print services on your server using the Print Admin program.

Help is available onscreen in Tips and AppleShare IP Help.

m AppleShare Client 3.8.3, while not required, provides the best AppleShare ﬁle sharing

performance when installed on Mac OS client computers.

Instructions and system requirements are available in the AppleShare Client 3.8 User’s Manual (inside the AppleShare Client folder) on your AppleShare IP CD-ROM disc.

m AppleShare IP Remote Administration allows you to remotely manage many AppleShare IP

services from any computer connected to your network using any standard Web browser.

Help is available onscreen in AppleShare IP Remote Help.

m TCP Filter software allows you to deﬁne ﬁlters that allow or deny access to an AppleShare

IP server from speciﬁed IP addresses or domain names. You can apply ﬁlters to individual protocols (such as IMAP or FTP) or create global ﬁlters that can be applied to all TCP/IP services on your server computer.

Help is available onscreen in Tips and AppleShare IP Help.

m MacDNS software provides Domain Name System (DNS) service for your network. You

may need DNS software in order to communicate with the Internet and to allow users to enter names instead of numeric IP addresses when, for example, sending e-mail.

Help is available in the MacDNS Administrator’s Guide ﬁle inside the MacDNS folder in the AppleShare IP 6.2 folder on your server’s hard disk (after you’ve installed AppleShare IP).

6 Preface

AppleShare IP also comes with additional software to help you run your servers more effectively and efﬁciently. See the folders and ﬁles on your AppleShare IP CD. For more information on third-party software products, visit the AppleShare IP Web site:

CHAPTER

Installing Your Software

Whether you are upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare IP or installing it for the ﬁrst time, you need to follow the instructions in this chapter.

This chapter tells you how to

m plan your AppleShare IP services m prepare your computer’s environment and software m install Mac OS 8.6 and AppleShare IP

Note: Your server should already be set up and connected to your network. If your server or network is not set up, set it up before continuing with this chapter.

Planning Your AppleShare IP Services

Depending on the services you plan to provide to your users and on the way your network is set up, you’ll need to answer the following questions before you install AppleShare IP.

m Will your clients be connecting to the AppleShare IP server via AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or both? m What types of clients are on your network—Mac OS, Windows, UNIX m What type of physical connection (for example, Ethernet or LocalTalk) does your

AppleShare IP server have to your intranet or the Internet?

m What is your server’s IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address? m Does your network have a computer that provides Domain Name System (DNS) service,

or will you install this service? (DNS software is required for AppleShare IP Mail service and provided in your AppleShare IP 6.2 folder.)

Your network administrator should be able to help you answer these questions. If you do not have a network administrator or if you need more assistance, see the TCP/IP Connections Tutorial and the Network Conﬁguration Setup Guide in the Tutorials folder on your AppleShare IP CD. You may also want to consult an Internet service provider (ISP) to help you answer these questions before continuing with your AppleShare IP installation.

Preparing Your Computer’s Environment

Before you install your AppleShare IP software, you need to prepare your computer and its environment by considering security issues, system (hardware and software) requirements, and facts about upgrading.

Security

AppleShare IP uses share points, user authentication, and access privileges to protect data from unauthorized access over a network. It also provides TCP Filter software that creates a software-based ﬁrewall to block server access from computers with IP addresses you deﬁne. However, someone with physical access to your computer can bypass these types of protection. (Access privileges, for example, allow or deny access over the network; they cannot prevent someone from opening a folder directly on the computer running AppleShare IP.)

Note: Not all AppleShare IP services support these security measures to the same extent. For more information, see AppleShare IP Help after you complete the instructions in this manual.

If you have any concerns about physical security—especially if you plan to store highly conﬁdential information—consider putting your computer in a room with controlled access.

System Requirements

System requirements for client computers are listed in the AppleShare Client 3.8 User’s Manual on your AppleShare IP CD.

10 Chapter 1

To install the AppleShare IP software, you need the following hardware and software: m Hardware: Any Power Macintosh computer, iMac, or Macintosh Server with a PowerPC

G3, 604e, 604, or 601 microprocessor, or a 6500 series computer with a 603e microprocessor.

Your computer should be set up and connected to your network. To use the AppleTalk multihoming feature of AppleShare IP, your computer must have a

Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) expansion slot. Computers with a 601 processor and NuBus

™

slots cannot use AppleTalk multihoming. On networks where AppleTalk services are heavily used, AppleTalk multihoming can signiﬁcantly reduce trafﬁc and increase the speed of the Web & File Server.

The AppleShare IP Print Server works only with AppleTalk-compatible LaserWriter printers, other PostScript

™

printers that support the Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver,

and TCP-compatible printers that support the LPD/LPR protocol.

m Disk space: You need approximately 75 megabytes (MB) of disk space to install all of the

AppleShare IP software.

™

m Memory: You need 64 MB of random-access memory (RAM) with virtual memory turned

on to run all of the AppleShare IP server programs simultaneously. To run all of the AppleShare IP servers without turning on virtual memory, you need a minimum of 80 MB of RAM.

m System software: Mac OS 8.6, provided with your AppleShare IP software, is required.

Installation instructions for Mac OS 8.6 are provided on page 13 of this book, and in the Mac OS 8.6 Installation Manual that came with your software.

If You Are Upgrading Your AppleShare Software

If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later or from Macintosh ﬁle sharing, you need to be aware of the following information about preserving ﬁles and settings.

Users & Groups

If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later or from Macintosh ﬁle sharing, the registered users and groups that you’ve created are retained when you install AppleShare IP.

Share Points and Access Privileges

If you have share points (shared folders) on another computer that you’d like to move to your AppleShare IP server, ﬁrst follow the instructions in this manual to install and set up AppleShare IP on the new server. Then follow the instructions for moving share points in the Web & File section of AppleShare IP Help.

Some access privileges of share points you move may not exactly match the new access privileges in AppleShare IP. They are converted to the closest match that provides the most security. See the Users & Groups section of AppleShare IP Help.

Print Queues

If you’re upgrading from AppleShare 3 or 4, you need to create new queues after you install AppleShare IP.

File Sharing and Networking Software Settings

If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or later, the settings in your File Sharing, AppleTalk, and TCP/IP control panels are retained. You do not need to reconﬁgure these control panels as described in the section “Creating Network Settings” on page 13. You do need to perform the other tasks in the section “Preparing Your Computer for AppleShare IP” on page 12 however.

Installing Your Software 11

The Mail Database

If you’re upgrading your AppleShare IP 5 Mail Server, make sure your Mail Server users download all their mail before you upgrade. If you don’t empty the database before installing the new Mail Server, you’ll need to use the AppleShare IP Mail Tool 6 program (on the AppleShare IP CD) to update the previous mail database to the new version after you install the new software.

Preparing Your Computer for AppleShare IP

Once your environment is ready, you need to prepare your computer for running AppleShare IP by installing and conﬁguring the appropriate software as follows:

m back up the necessary ﬁles m install Mac OS 8.6 m set up your network identity m set up AppleTalk m set up TCP/IP m set up TCP/IP and Remote Access (for modem access only) m set up Energy Saver m verify your computer’s date, time, and time zone

12 Chapter 1

Backing Up Necessary Files

Depending on the ﬁle sharing program and system software version you’ve been using, you may want to make backup copies of some ﬁles or record certain information before proceeding.

m If you’re upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or AppleShare IP, back up your

System Folder using a backup application that can copy invisible ﬁles. This allows you to restore a copy of the previous Users & Groups Data File and the AppleShare PDS ﬁle (an invisible ﬁle installed on every volume), and makes it possible to switch back to your previous version of AppleShare if you desire.

When you make your backup copy, make sure that the AppleShare IP Web & File Server is running.

m If you’re upgrading from Macintosh ﬁle sharing, you only need to make a backup copy of

your Users & Groups Data File, located in the Preferences folder inside the System Folder on your startup disk.

m If you’re using TCP for network communication, open the TCP/IP control panel or

MacTCP control panel and write down your computer’s IP address and the IP addresses of the subnet mask, routers, and name servers. You need to record this information before you upgrade your system software.

Installing Mac OS 8.6

Before you begin the installation, turn off disk-security software that provides password protection and At Ease software. Then follow these steps:

1 Insert the Mac OS 8.6 CD-ROM disc (which came with your AppleShare IP software) into

your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2 Shut down your computer.

You need to do this to start up from the Mac OS CD.

3 Turn on your computer while holding down the C key on your keyboard.

Your computer starts up from the CD-ROM disc. Continue holding down the C key until you see the screen with the smiling face.

If your computer doesn’t start up from the CD, see the section “You can’t start up the computer using the Mac OS CD” in the Troubleshooting part of the Mac OS 8.6 Installation Manual. Then continue with the next step in this book.

4 Double-click the Mac OS Installer icon, then follow the instructions onscreen.

5 When you get to the Select Destination screen, click the Options button.

6 Select the checkbox next to Perform Clean Installation, then click OK.

7 Follow the remainder of the instructions onscreen to install Mac OS 8.6.

Important If you choose to perform a customized installation, make sure you select the

Apple Remote Access and Internet Access options. (The Internet Access option is needed to access AppleShare IP Help and Remote Help, and to connect to the Internet.)

8 After the installation is complete, click Restart to restart your computer.

The Mac OS Setup Assistant opens.

9 Use the Mac OS Setup Assistant and Internet Setup Assistant to enter system settings for your

computer. Or if you prefer, you can enter these settings without the help of the Assistants by following the instructions in “Creating Network Settings,” next.

10 Because you performed a clean installation, you need to drag any third-party software

extensions and fonts from your Previous System Folder to your new System Folder, or reinstall the third-party software.

For more information and troubleshooting help, see your Mac OS 8.6 Installation Manual.

Creating Network Settings

Setting Your Network Identity

You need to set your network identity and password in the File Sharing control panel before you can log on to the servers and make yourself the default owner of shared disks.

Installing Your Software 13

Note: If you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.6, you can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.

Important After you’ve installed AppleShare IP, you won’t be able to change your network

identity in the File Sharing control panel. You can change these settings in AppleShare IP.

To set up the File Sharing control panel, follow these steps:

1 Open the File Sharing control panel.

2 Click the Start/Stop tab to see the Network Identity section.

3 Type your name in the Owner Name text box and press the Tab key.

You’ll use this name when you log on to administer an AppleShare IP server. It will also be the owner name for any items that you share. The name is not case-sensitive.

4 Type your password in the Owner Password text box and press Tab.

14 Chapter 1

The password can be up to eight characters long and is case-sensitive. This is the default password you enter to use the AppleShare IP administration programs.

5 Type a name for your server in the Computer Name text box.

The name can be up to 31 characters long and can contain any character except a colon (:), equal sign (=), or Option-x (!). This name will appear in the Chooser.

6 Close the File Sharing control panel.

Your changes are saved and take effect immediately.

Setting Up AppleTalk

To provide ﬁle sharing, print, or mail services over AppleTalk, you need to set your AppleTalk network connection in the AppleTalk control panel.

Note: If you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.6, you can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.

To set up your AppleTalk network connection, follow these steps:

1 Open the AppleTalk control panel.

2 Choose the network connection type that you want AppleTalk to use from the “Connect via”

pop-up menu.

This setting determines the default port that your server will use to connect to your AppleTalk network.

If the default port becomes unavailable (for example, if your Ethernet cable becomes loose), AppleTalk will choose another available network connection type.

3 If your network allows you to designate a zone, choose the zone for your server from the

“Current zone” pop-up menu.

Zones are groups of devices arranged according to logical categories, such as usage or geography. If your network has a router (a device used to connect networks), then it has zones. Your server will appear in this zone in the Chooser.

If your network does not have a router, all computers connected to the network are in the same zone, and you see “no zones available” instead of the pop-up menu.

4 Close the AppleTalk control panel and save your changes.

Your changes are saved and take effect immediately.

Setting Up TCP/IP

For users to share ﬁles over TCP, visit your Web site, print over TCP, or use TCP-based client mail or FTP applications, and for you to use the TCP Filter software and share users and groups between servers, you need to set your computer’s network connections in the TCP/IP control panel. However, you don’t need to follow the instructions in this section if

m you used the Internet Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.6. Skip ahead to “Setting

Up Energy Saver” on page 23.

m your Internet service provider gave you software that automatically conﬁgures your

TCP/IP control panel. Skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.

Installing Your Software 15

m you have already set up your TCP/IP control panel. If you will be running any AppleShare

IP services with a modem (or “dial-up”) connection to the Internet, skip ahead to “Setting Up TCP/IP and Remote Access (for Modem Access Only)” on page 18. If you won’t be using a modem connection, skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.

To set up the TCP/IP control panel, follow these steps:

1 Open the TCP/IP control panel.

If TCP/IP is inactive, the following message appears.

2 Click Yes.

3 Choose User Mode from the Edit menu.

4 In the User Mode window, click Basic, if it’s not already chosen. Then click OK.

The TCP/IP window shows the basic TCP/IP options.

16 Chapter 1

5 Choose the network connection you are using to connect over TCP/IP from the “Connect

via” pop-up menu.

This setting determines the port that your server will use to connect to your TCP/IP network.

6 Choose Manually from the Conﬁgure pop-up menu.

7 Type the IP address for your AppleShare IP server in the IP Address text box.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots (for example, 172.16.54.2). It identiﬁes your server on the network. Your network administrator or Internet service provider should provide this address. For more information, see the TCP/IP Connections Tutorial in the Tutorials folder on your AppleShare IP CD.

Important Each computer has a unique IP address. Entering an incorrect address or the IP

address of another computer can cause problems with your computer and with the network.

8 Type your network’s subnet mask in the “Subnet mask” text box.

Like an IP address, a subnet mask is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots (for example, 255.255.255.0). Your network administrator or Internet service provider should provide you with this information.

9 If your network has a router, type its IP address in the “Router address” text box.

A router is a device that connects two or more networks and directs information along the most efﬁcient or appropriate network path.

10 Type the IP address of your network’s DNS server in the “Name server addr” text box.

A DNS server lets users identify computers by name instead of by IP address. If you specify more than one server, press Return after typing each server’s address.

If no other computer on your network provides DNS service, you can install MacDNS, an implementation of DNS for the Mac OS. AppleShare IP Easy Setup (described in Chapter 2) will set up and start MacDNS on your server. If you plan to use MacDNS, type the IP address of the computer on which you will install MacDNS in the “Name Server Addr.” text box.

Important For users to be able to identify computers by name, and for mail services to

work properly, your network must have a domain name server.

11 Close the TCP/IP control panel and save the changes you have made.

Your changes take effect immediately.

Installing Your Software 17

Setting Up TCP/IP and Remote Access (for Modem Access Only)

If you will use this computer to run any of the AppleShare IP services with a modem (or “dialup”) connection to the Internet, you need to set up the TCP/IP control panel and the Remote Access control panel.

Note: If your server uses a modem for TCP/IP connections, only AppleTalk-based services will be available on your local network unless you have an Internet router.

If you’re using a dial-up connection, you probably have an account with an Internet service provider (ISP) that assigned you one or more IP addresses. The way you set up TCP/IP and Remote Access depends on whether your Internet service provider assigned your server a static or dynamic IP address.

With static addressing, each computer on your network has a unique IP number. With dynamic addressing, an IP address is assigned to each computer each time it connects to your ISP. Using a dynamic IP address for your server has the following effects on the Web & File Server:

m Mac OS clients on your network will not be able to use TCP/IP to connect to the

AppleShare IP Web & File Server. Instead, they will have to use AppleTalk.

m Windows clients will not be able to connect to the Web & File Server. m Users will be unable to visit your Web site. m Users will not be able to use FTP to connect to the AppleShare IP Web & File Server.

Because of the disadvantages of using dynamic addresses, it’s recommended that you obtain a static IP address for each computer on which you will install AppleShare IP services.

18 Chapter 1

If your computer uses a modem to connect to your Internet service provider and has a static IP address, follow these steps to set up TCP/IP and Remote Access:

1 Open the TCP/IP control panel.

If TCP is inactive, a message appears.

2 Click Yes.

3 Choose User Mode from the Edit menu.

4 In the User Mode window, click Basic, if it’s not already chosen. Then click OK.

The TCP/IP window shows the basic TCP/IP options.

5 Choose PPP from the “Connect via” pop-up menu.

PPP stands for “Point-to-Point Protocol,” the protocol used for remote access.

6 Choose Manually from the Conﬁgure pop-up menu.

7 Type your computer’s IP address in the IP Address text box, and the IP addresses of your

ISP’s domain name server in the “Name server addr” text box.

Your ISP will provide the addresses. For information about these settings, see steps 7 and 10 in “Setting Up TCP/IP,” beginning on page 15.

8 Close the TCP/IP control panel and save the changes you have made.

Your changes take effect immediately. Next you need to set up the Remote Access control panel.

Installing Your Software 19

9 Open the Remote Access control panel.

The Remote Access control panel appears.

10 Click the Registered User button.

11 In the Name text box, type the name your ISP assigned to you.

12 In the Password text box, type the password your ISP assigned to you.

13 Click the Save password checkbox.

20 Chapter 1

14 In the Number text box, type the phone number of your ISP.

15 Choose Modem from the Remote Access menu.

The Modem control panel appears.

16 Choose the port to which your modem is connected from the “Connect via” pop-up menu.

17 Choose the name of your modem from the Modem pop-up menu.

If you do not see your modem listed, you need to install your modem software. See the documentation that came with your modem.

18 If you want to hear the modem when it dials, click the On button next to Sound.

19 If the telephone line that your modem uses supports tone dialing, click Tone. Otherwise,

click Pulse.

20 If the modem should not wait for a dial tone before it begins dialing, select “Ignore dial

tone.”

21 Close the Modem window.

22 In the Remote Access window, click the Options button.

The Options window appears.

23 If you want the modem to redial automatically when it fails to connect, choose “Redial main
