Macintosh / AFP Issues
AppleTalk Not Supported as a Transport Protocol
The legacy AppleTalk* protocol stack is not supported as a transport protocol
in this version of Novell Native File Access Protocols for Macintosh.
AppleTalk migration is targeted for a subsequent release.
Older Mac applications that have unique dependencies upon AppleTalk as a
transport protocol must be updated to a version that is known to work over
TCP/IP. The AppleTalk stack protocols (TLAP, ELAP, LLAP, DDP, RTMP,
AEP, ATP, NB P, A D S P, Z I P, A SP, a n d PAP ) a r e n o t su p po r te d ov e r TC P / IP b y
Apple*.
Therefore, Novell does not support those legacy protocols either. Both Novell
and Apple have embraced TCP/IP as the Internet standard transport protocol.
IMPORTANT: Older NetWare for Macintosh and Prosoft versions of AFP.NLM and
APPLETLK.NLM are not supported. Do not attempt to mix old Mac support NLM
programs with the new AFPTCP.NLM.
Server MONITOR Does Not Register Mac Connections
The MONITOR.NLM on the server does not register Mac connections. Also,
the active connections’ Network Address list indicates “no address available.”
This is a known problem for connections other than NCP
TM
sessions.
User Authentication Method Not Found
Mac users receiving the following error message should check the AppleShare
folder in the Extensions folder and try again:
The UserAuthentication Method required by this server can't
be found
This error occurs because the new AFPTCP.NLM cannot coexist with prior
versions of the AFP.NLM.
To fix this error, do the following:
1 Unload the old AFP.NLM and remove it from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
2 Unload and delete the old AFPCON.NLM and do not use it again.
3 Delete the old AFPCON configuration file in
SYS:\SYSTEM\GLOBDATA.AFP if it exists.
4 Make sure that the user’s context is in the context search file CTXS.CFG.
