SUMMARY
=======
Attachmate Irma for the Macintosh is an add-on product which supports
connectivity to SNA Server over Appletalk. However, Irma for the Macintosh only
understands the single domain model when logging a client onto the SNA Server's
domain.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When Irma for the Macintosh requests the domain of the SNA Server, it uses that
domain name when passing the user name and password across for validation. This
works fine when the SNA Server is a member server/Backup Domain
Controller/Primary Domain Controller of a single domain model. However, if the
SNA Server is a member server/BDC/PDC of a resource domain with no local domain
user accounts, the validation fails for the Irma client.
RESOLUTION
==========
This problem can be resolved in 1 of 2 ways:
- Enable the guest account on the resource domain (SNA SERVER) so the DCA Irma
clients can be validated as guest.
- Create user accounts in the resource domain for each Macintosh client who
will be accessing the SNA Server.
