548.0. "V1 doc nits" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Fri May 16 1997 09:35

    Hi
    
    Here are some doc nits on the DRAS Use (Windows) V1.0 document:
    
    o p. 1-1 twice mentions Digital Connection Management Services;
    shouldn't this be D  R  A  S, instead?
    
    o p. 1-7, #8 should, I think, read, "If all conditions are met, the
    DRAS server sends a list of configuration values for the user to the
    DRAS _client_ in an Access-Accept packet."
    
    o p 1-10, last paragraph mentions 'PAP Operation', but I didn't see
    this mentioned in the table on p. 1-9.  I guess my real comment is, why
    is PAP mentioned, where does it fit into the scheme of things, etc.
    
    o p. 2-5, is the 'Server' database really called that, or is it the
    'Client' database?
    
    o p. 3-2, step 1 mentions running 'the SetupDb utility (optional)'. 
    What a heartless tease (:) ) to read this and then find nothing else
    about this in the manual.  Why?
    
    General comments: the USe document is too 'light'.  I read it, and felt
    like I'd had half a meal.  It left too many questions unanswered, and I
    went looking for a 'Management' or 'Command Procedure' manual to find
    the details left out.  But these don't seem to exist.
    
    What's missing:
    o details of the various authentication schemes.  I still don't
    understand what host means.
    o all of the values allowed for all of the parameters.  Seeing these,
    and their definition/explanation, would go along way to telling me more
    about the product
    o maintaining the static database seems to be absent, particularly any
    bulk load and automatic synchronization opportunities.  Yes, I know
    these basically didn't make it into the V1 product, but
    confirming/enying their existence would keep me from wondering and
    asking more questions.
    
    Hope this helps.  Time permitting, I'd be glad to review the V2.2
    documentation.
    
    Thanks!
