SnapServer 7.0 Administrator's Guide
Authenticating Clients Against a Configured Windows Domain
You can authenticate AFP clients against a Windows domain by navigating to Network >
Apple/AFP
domain authentication is enabled, user names will first be authenticated against the
Windows domain and then authenticated against the local database. Local and domain
users with the same name will connect as the domain user. To force either local or domain
authentication, prefix the user name with the name of the domain to authenticate against
or the name of the SnapServer. For example:
mydomain\username
snap12345\username
Distinguishing Share Names on the Desktop and Finder
By default, the Chooser identifies SnapServer shares using only the share name. To display
both the share name and the server name, the Add Server Name To Apple Shared Folder Names
checkbox on the Network > Apple/AFP page of the Web Management Interface is enabled by
default. This option allows Mac applications to differentiate between shared folders with
the same share name on multiple servers. For example, SHARE1 on SNAP61009 refers to
the share named SHARE1 on the SnapServer named SNAP61009.

By default, users are authenticated against the domain
first, then against the local database, so if the same user
name exists on both the domain and the SnapServer, the
domain user will take precedence. To force an AFP client
to log in as either user, prefix the user name with either
the Windows domain name or the SnapServer's
servername. For example: windowsdomain\username or
snap12345\username
