SUMMARY
For versions 3.0 and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, if the password
for the directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) server postoffice for each
requestor definition (the Config, Dir-Sync, Server, Requestor menu) is null
(that is, there is no password), the server accepts any password from any
requestor postoffice.
Setting the Dir-Sync server password to null means the server will accept
any password from any requestor. This allows the administrator to allow the
Dir-Sync server to accept input from any requestor, regardless of that
requestor's particular Dir-Sync password.
In this manner, the Microsoft Mail administrator can effectively disable
the Dir-Sync password option without having to change the individual
passwords on each requestor postoffice.
