This article was previously published under Q130290 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.
