2.2.1.3
Username
Every user of a client is assigned a username by the administrator, which is unique
throughout the network. Users are identified by their usernames in the network.
The username consists of three to fifteen characters: letters, numbers, spaces and
special characters without / \ * ’ " ‘ !. Use a maximum of eight characters to achieve
unique mapping between UNIX names and Advanced Server for UNIX users. It is
not recommended to use umlauts or characters like the euro symbol in usernames.
2.2.1.4
Sharename
If a resource on a server is shared, it gets a sharename. The sharename identifies the
resource on the server. A sharename for a resource must appear only once on a server,
however the same sharename may be used several times on other servers in the network.
The sharename is part of the network name.
The sharename consists of up to twelve characters: letters (no umlauts), numbers,
and special characters. For MS-DOS clients, the sharename must comply with the
MS-DOS conventions.
Example
The command
net share sf1=c:/u1/public
is used by the administrator to share the directory
/u1/public
as a resource for the network,
sf1
is the sharename of this resource.
●
The character string
c:
must always precede the resource pathname when
sharing directories.
2.2.1.5
Network name
A client user sets up a connection to a shared resource using the network name. The
network name of a shared resource consists of the computername of a server and of the
sharename of the resource shared on this server.
Example
The command
net use j: \\server1\sf1
is used by the client user to set up a connection to the
shared resource with the sharename
sf1
, which is located on the server with the
computername
server1
. The network name of the resource in this case is
\\server1\sf1
. Using
the command
dir \\server1\sf1
or
dir j:
you can then display the contents of the shared
directory.
