RE: [ActiveDir] Mac clients & passwords

[kevingent]

I believe you need to logon to your W2K server from your Mac stations and access the Microsoft UAM share. Install the software from there onto your Mac, that will enable encrypted authentication. Using the standard Apple UAM the passwords are passed in the clear. Not sure about the notifications about expiring passwords.   Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 3:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Mac clients & passwords I have zero experience with Macs, but we now have a few in our design dept. Our domain is Windows 2000, and the Macs are using only TCP/IP to participate on the network, no Appletalk. The users say they don’t get notified when their AD password expires, and then when it does expire, they have to go find a Windows PC to change it. Is there software I can install on the AD and/or client side to alleviate this problem? Also, is it accurate that passwords are transmitted in clear text from a Mac client to a Windows resource?   Thanks!   Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation Honesty and Integrity in Everything We Do
