4232.0. "External Authentication and PW" by SLOVAX::NEWMAN () Wed Mar 26 1997 19:36

    When OVMS 7.1 can be set for single logon, ie set for external
    authentication.  OVMS login bypasses the SYSUAF and goes to an external
    source to verify access.
    
    This is done for interactive logins and network logins (proxy).
    
    Can this be used to eliminate the problems with replication not always
    making it when a password is changed?
    
    If you change your password that has expired on NT it doesn't always
    make it back to OVMS, so users cannot see shares on OVMS machines.
    
    If External Authentication were turned on, access would not be
    controlled by SYSUAF and UAS on OVMS would also not be used but would
    ask NT to validate user access.
    
    Cheers,

	It will in V6 but I think V5 continues to use the stale password until it is replicated.
