Applescript to connect to Windows 2000 SFM share from MAC OS 9.2 Client

K

Kevin Smith

Hello All,

My name is Kevin Smith. I am working with Apple Macintosh G4 with OS
9.2 and OS 91. We also have some X but mostly are still on 9.1 and 9.2
We have Windows 2000 Servers with Services for Macintosh installed.

I would like to script the connection to these SFM shares. Each share
has a username and password. So for example server1 runs windows 2000
with SFM It has Mac share share1, username is user1 with password
pass1. I would like to hava script on the MAC that mounts share1 on
server1 and passes username and password to server1.

My script would be something like this;

try
mount volume "afp://server1/share1 as user name "user1" with
password "pass1"
end try

This doesn't work.

If I don't pass the username and password to it my script would be

try
mount volume "afp://server1/share1
end try

Now I get a prompt asking for username and password. I can then mount
the volume share1.

I think the problem is that the MAC UAM is sending clear text and
Windows 2000 wants encryption. I have installed the latest Microsoft
UAM but to no avail.

Is it possible to force a script to use the Microsoft UAM?

I am using the latest version of AppleScript and AppleShareIP client.

Any help much appreciated,

Best Regards,

Kevin.

Applescript does not work with 3rd party UAMs, it will always use the Apple
UAM.
