Table 14-1
Access Methods
eDirectory and Active Directory users on
Windows workstations can access files
through Windows Explorer (CIFS) or
Internet Explorer (WebDAV Web
Folders). No Novell Client can be on the
machine.
Unlike Windows workgroup or Novell
Samba, the user doesn't need to have a
matching username and password on
the local workstation.
Although not shown, Novell Client users
can also access files through a normal
NCP connection.
