1199.0. "DAS - Digital Authentication Server ?" by ULYSSE::FINKA () Mon Jan 27 1997 12:46

    What is the status of DAS - Digital Authentication Server ?
    The node for notes ZENDIA::AUTHENTICATION does not seem to respond.
    Is DAS still supported ? What are the contact names ? Kit location ?
    
    Thanks in advance,

ZENDIA::AUTHENTICATION seems to have been absent for three years, judging by
the last reply to note 3129 in EASYNET_CONFERENCES.  Node ZENDIA is no longer
registered.

  Are you talking about the product originally called CMAN on which development
began about 3 years ago in Valbonne? If so, this project was transferred to
the Access Servers Group in 1995 and is now a commercial product called DRAS
(Digital Remote Authentication Server). If this is the product you are asking
about, try scanning and asking in IROCZ::TERMINAL_SERVERS.

Subject: DAS kit and status

Jean,
DIGITAL has outsourced the DAS product/support.  Before I answer your 
specific questions, here is a background summary: On Dec 31, 1996 the 
few remaining  people in the DECathena/DAS group resigned from Digital
to form a new company, LatticeSoft Inc.  LatticeSoft and Digital
have a licensing agreement in place that allows LatticeSoft to use
the DECathena/DAS technologies to continue offering product licenses, 
technical support and custom engineering services to Digital's 
DECathena and DAS customers.  Licenses and services are available
from LatticeSoft effective immediately.

There will be formal communications sent out very soon regarding 
the Digital/LatticeSoft arrangement.  These communications may include
an MCS field notification bulletin, a customer letter, and/or a press 
release.  Contact the  MCS product manager, Diane Ellis, (DTN: 276-8143,
Diane Ellis@OGO) for further information on this.

In terms of your specific questions, I've responded below in the text 
of your mail.

In the mean time, if you need any further help (information, support 
services, etc) please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Thankyou,

 Gary Perwak
  President, LatticeSoft Inc.

not by DIGITAL directly.  Support is available from LatticeSoft.
>
>2/ If so, what is the latest version ?

the latest version is now a replacement product called LattiXcheck available
from LatticeSoft.  It is 100% compatible with the last DIGITAL version.
>
>3/ Is Windows 95 and NT a supported Client platform ?
>   When will it be ?
Not today.  Our plans for W95/NT support are still evolving.  At this time
we can offer custom engineering services or special projects to support these.
Please contact me if you would like to pursue this.

As indicated above, DAS has been replaced by LattiXcheck.  LatticeSoft's current
plans are to continue offering technical support and custom engineering
services.  The evolution of the product (additional features/additional platform
support) is in planning stages and will depend on the requirements we gather 
from current and future customers.  Should you have specific feature/function
needs, please relay these to me ASAP.
