    re.3:
    
    Anyone knows which versions of NT and VMS support the integrated
    logins? I'm not talking about Pathworks involvement here...pure
    NT and VMS. Kind of having the password authorization files either
    mirrored or one common file.
    
    Thanks

	How do you expect VMS to recognize LANMAN without PATHWORKS?  That
	is the component that permits VMS to participate in the NT domain.
	VMS V7.1 with PATHWORKS V6.0 and NT V4.0 provides the ability to
	have a common logon.  Changing the password or adding a user on
	either system is reflected to the other system, as long as they are
	both installed as some kind of domain controller.  These versions on
	VMS permit the VMS system to be the PDC, if desired.

    I'm not talking LAN-what-so-ever. Just account controll. I thought the 
    VMS Affinitiy project would provide the capability to share/synchronize 
    accounts without Pathworks. Maybe this question is more appropriate in
    VMSland then?

3304.7you mean Single SignOn?SUFRNG::VMSNET::S_VORESmile - Mickey's Watching!Tue Mar 11 1997 11:11189
    If you mean the new Single SignOn feature, here's a document that might
    help you get started...

PRODUCT: PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager), Version 5.0E

OP/SYS:  OpenVMS, Version 7.1
             
SOURCE:  Digital Equipment Corporation


INFORMATION:

This article contains the following information:

o What is external authorization?

o The steps to enable the System, Account, and Hostmap a user.

o Brief example of password synchronization.


Note:  Synchronizing the Passwords may fail due to different sets of 
       valid characters permitted for use as passwords.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is external authorization ?

External authorization will allow LAN Manager users to log in to 
OpenVMS using the LAN Manager credentials. (Single signon)


Three steps are required to enable the single signon. 

  1. Setup the OpenVMS system 

        o Install, Configure, and Start the required network software.

        o Put the following commands in SYS$STARTUP:SYSSTARTUP_VMS.COM
          after the network is started.

                $ @SYS$STARTUP:PWRK$STARTUP
                $ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC SYS$ACME_MODULE PWRK$ACME_MODULE
                $!
                $!
                $! The command below allows a non-priv user, ie NO sysprv
                $! to use the /LOCAL_PASSWORD qualifier after their
                $! OpenVMS Username at login and validate from the local 
                $! SYSUAF.DAT.   
                $!
                $! 
                $!
                $ define/sys/exec sys$single_signon 1


  2. Enable a User account for External Authentication.

        o Put the flag extauth on the users account.

                * New Account:

                        $ MCR Authorize
                        UAF> add username /flag=(extauth,nodisuser) -
                        _UAF> /uic=[nnn,nnn]
                        UAF> exit

                * Existing Account:

                        $ MCR Authorize
                        UAF> Mod username /flag=(extauth)
                        UAF> exit


  3. Setup the Hostmapping LAN Manager account to OpenVMS account.

        o PATHWORKS' Admin/PATHWORKS will be used for this step.

                $ admin/path

                        Shortcut: In an X-Window terminal you can use the 
                                  Mouse.

                * Logon as an admin user

                * Choose Accounts Menu

                * Select Users

                * Select a user to setup

                        Shortcut:
                                - Highlight the first username.

                                - Type the first letter of the username
                                  you would like to select.

                                - Notice it has jumped to the first 
                                  instance of that letter. 

                                - Scroll down to the actual user.       

                * Choose Zoom

                * Enter the OpenVMS username that you want this LAN 
                  Manager account to be hostmapped to.

                * Choose OK

How Password Synchronizing works:


  o Set Password command issued by OpenVMS user (setup for external 
    authentication). 

        - OpenVMS forwards the request to the LAN Manager server.

        - LAN Manager server sets password.

        - OpenVMS updates the OpenVMS users password. 


The Synchronizing of the external authentication enabled users password 
will automatically synchronize with the hostmapped LAN Manager account.
It doesn't matter what the role of the LAN Manager server in the domain is.

  o OpenVMS will synchronize the LAN Manager password with the hostmapped 
    OpenVMS users password when the user logs in to the OpenVMS system.
