&   Advanced Server and Authentication?   The Question is:    M If I install Pathworks Advanced Server on my Alpha running V6.2-1H3, and make M  it a member server in AD, will there be any problem for users authenticating L  on the VAX/VMS V5.5-2H4 systems in the cluster?  Or even the Alpha for that  matter?  Case sensitivit  y doesn't kick in until V7.   The Answer is :   D   If the Advanced Server simply serves files and participates withinE   the Microsoft Domain and does not particularly provide serve of the D   OpenVMS security and authentication, then you need only ensure you?   have the appropriate minimum versions and ECO kits loaded and 
   running.   E   If you do seek to use Advanced Server for external OpenVMS password C   authentication and to share passwords among OpenVMS and Microsoft A   Windows logins, then the cited OpenVMS releases are too old for G   support of external authentication.  You will not be able to maintain F   consistent password values across the OpenVMS cluster and across the	   domain.    @   OpenVMS V7.1 is the earliest release with support for external@   authentication, and specically for LAN Manager authentication.F   Other authentication capabilities have been added subseqeuntly, suchD   as the addition of LDAP authentication in OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 andA   the addition of Kerberos Authentication in V7.3.  There is also A   apparently a RADIUS Authentication package available available,    though not from HP.    D   Case sensitivity and ODS-5 support both involve OpenVMS Alpha V7.2   and later.   C   Existing topics include (8753),(8473), (6337), (5850) and others. 0  Answer written or last revised on  12-APR-2004
