Product Description:

The Microsoft UAM provides a superior method for encrypting the passwords that you use to log into Windows AFP Servers. The standard Apple UAM provides only minimal encryption (if any) so your password could easily be intercepted on the LAN or Internet. Although the UAM is not required, it does provide secure encrypted authentication to Windows 2000 Servers running Services For Macintosh.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.1 or higher

MS UAM is pretty bad - Version: 1.0.2, 10/27/2004 07:49AM PST

I agree with Kevin, I get the UAM dialog behind other things too, making it hard to get to the text box. Sometimes I'll get hung up so that the only thing visible is the outline of the dialog box, no text and certainly no entry box. Had to Force Quit the machine since it came back every time I force-quit just the Finder.

Such a simple thing, but it has problems playing nicely on a modern Mac OS.

We've had success by NOT having any shares mounted at startup. Instead I wait for everything to settle down and then run a short script which mounts all the shares via the UAM. That's the easiest way to avoid problems, but they can still happen (see above).

Latest version is from 2002. Sure, Microsoft loves Macs. [/sarcasm]

Some of my Windows Servers are set to require Windows authentication (the Microsoft UAM) but when I connect by the Finder window network list, the login window comes up behind the Finder window. The Finder will not respond. The beach ball spins. If the Finder window is not completely covering the MS UAM login window, I can click on it and bring it to the front, and log in. The only other way I have found is to force quit the Finder. I have seen this on all three Panther (10.3.2) Macs I have here.

All this makes me long for the good old days of the Chooser. Can't someone create an alternative?

This worked where Apple's built-in stuff gave me errors. My network is Windows Server 2003 / XP / 2000 / Solaris and now Macs! Without UAM, the Macs were not able to get to resources.
