Questions:
Dear Wizard.
We are looking for a security product to provide authentication and
and username/password encription or tokenisation for VMS.
We have not suceeded in finding a DEC product that does this. Can you
help
We use only TCP/IP, LAT and IPX protocols on our net and we don't realy
want
Pathworks or DECnet.
Can you point us in the right direction please??
Thanks

Your question is somewhat ambiguous -- OpenVMS user authentication is
built into OpenVMS, and operates regardless of the network protocol
in use.
And OpenVMS provides calling interfaces that allow passwords to be
hashed and then matched against those values stored in the system
authorization file.
OpenVMS supports external authentication via LAN MANAGER, with the
addition of other authentication mechanisms under consideration, and
one can add other site-specific external authentication to OpenVMS
via available an OpenVMS programming interface.
