Additional product information can be found at: Network Authentication Service Version 1.1 Network Authentication Service is the IBM implementation of IETF RFC 1510 standards protocol for The Kerberos V5 Network Authentication Service. Kerberos negotiates authentication, and optionally encrypted, communication between two points on the Internet or between components on a system. Kerberos is a client/server model where clients can either be a user or a service.
The GSS-API provides security service to callers in a generic fashion with support for Kerberos as the underlying security mechanism. The GSS-API is based on IETF RFC 2078 for GSS-API Version 2 and IETF RFC 1964 for the Kerberos Version 5 GSS-API mechanism. Software Security and Encryption Support
AIX 5L Version 5.1 Bonus PackThe AIX 5L Version 5.1 Bonus Pack contains the following programs:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05 Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05 is an essential tool for anyone who needs to view, navigate, browse, and print PDF files. Information on the Acrobat Reader can be found at: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, and Korean fonts are provided on the AIX Bonus Pack. The Japanese font requires registration and must be obtained from the Web site. Additional information on the font packs can be found at: AIX Fast Connect Version 3.1, Evaluation Software
NT password encryption support is now added, which offers a higher level of security by allowing mixed case and longer passwords. AIX Fast Connect DCE/DFS™ integration feature now supports encrypted passwords in addition to plain text passwords. This feature offers higher security and eliminates the need for modifying Windows clients to enable plain text passwords. This release of AIX Fast Connect adds support of Windows Terminal Server (WTS).
AIX Fast Connect servers are enhanced to provide detailed information about connected sessions, including files open by individual users. An administrator can force a session to close or even a file to close. This function is supported through the command line. Graphical access to these functions is provided through Web-based System Manager. Further manageability enhancements include Web-based System Manager for AIX support, which makes managing Fast Connect easier. The number of options, which used to be server wide, now can be configured on a per-share basis offering additional flexibility to the administrators. A number of performance enhancements are added. The most significant is directory search caching. Search requests are one of the most expensive operations, in terms of system resources. Based on customer environment, it can show a significant performance increase. AIX Fast Connect now supports share level security, which some of the existing AIX Connections customers use and now require in Fast Connect. Capability to send messages to PC clients is added as well. Evaluation software is full function and is available for 60 days from the time of installation.
