4153.0. "Old accounst/ext. auth" by STKAI1::PTORLIND () Wed Feb 12 1997 14:41
Hi !!
We have gotten a strange problem with the new external authentication
feature .
Config is this, 1 NT3.51 server PDC, 1 PW V5.0E Member, running AVMS v7.1
and 1 PW V5.0D Member. The 5.0E server used to run V5.0D
When setting up the extauth flag to a vms user on the V5.0E server that
is already Lanman hostmaped, and then trying to do a
set host to that system the Opcom message states ther is no such user.
All the accounts has been created from the beginning with the
$net user /add command from the vms prompt.
What we have found out is this, all the old lanmanager accounts, we
have to do a set host and specify the username with uppercase
characters, otherwise it says no such user on the vms console.
If we create a new account from the 5.0E server with the
$net user /add command. It works fine with either uppercase or
lowercase characters in the username.
If we create a new lanmanager account from the 5.0D server with
$net user /add
We get the problem with that we have to specify the vms username
with uppercase characters.
So...
1. All 400 user accounts that has been created with the $net user
/add from the beginning dont work as supposed to.
2. All accounts that is created now, new ones, with $net user /add
from the V5.0D server works like the old ones as stated in 1.
3. The only accounts that work with external authentication are
the new ones we create with $net user /add on the V5.0E server.
My question is, i hope this is not the way it is supposed to be ??
Anyone ??

| Hi again !!
Forget .0, customer lied once again. After some
investigation it turned out to be this....
He pushed in a new V5.0E server into the domain
with an NT 3.51 PDC. All user accounts was replicated.
At that time he had already created about 200 vms user
user accounts so they were host mapped.
But then he created vms accounts same username as the
lanmanager accounts and thought they would be hostmapped
automatically. NOT. So the one that had problem with
External Auth. was the one that had hostmap=pwrk$default.
So, finally to the last question. Is there any NET command
or with lmuser tool to modify the accounts so they are host
mapped with the vms user account. Admin interface
is not an option since customer wants to make a batch job
to fix this.
Anyone ??

As long as you have the following lines in lanman.ini [vmsserver]
section:
applyhostmapcomment = yes
hostmapmode = if_exist_else_default ! (other values are valid as well)
then you can set the Comment field of the LANMAN account to
HOSTMAP=<uafAcct> and it'll set the host mapping for you. Note that
the actually setting of the hostmap field doesn't occur until you zoom
on the account in ADMIN or the user establishes a new _session_ with
the server.
For a new user:
$ NET USER PTORLIND PASSWORD /COMMENT:"HOSTMAP=PTORLIND" /ADD
or for an existing user:
$ NET USER PTORLIND /COMMENT:"HOSTMAP=PTORLIND"

| Hi !!
YES, thats it. I had been trying the
$net user ptorlind /comment:"hostmap=ptorlind"
But it turned out to be parameter applyhostmapcomment
in lanman.ini that was the missing part. I even had
the pw server administrator guide dusted off from
the book shelf here and looked in it. Missed that one.
Great, thanks, we will satisfy one more customer.
Regards.
