System Management Release Notes
5.3 External Authentication
Installation and Configuration Guide. See this manual and the OpenVMS Guide
to System Security for detailed information about using external authentication.
5.3.1 FTP Server Uses External Authentication
V7.2
With the release of Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.0, the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server uses external authentication to authenticate
connections on the OpenVMS system.
5.3.2 DCL Command Interface to Control External Authentication
V7.2
Chapter 7 of the OpenVMS Guide to System Security describes the SYS$SINGLE_
SIGNON and SYS$ACME_MODULE logical names currently used for external
authentication. Note that in a future release, the current interface for enabling
and controlling external authentication will be replaced by a DCL command
interface.
5.3.3 Failed Connection Attempts on POP Server
V7.2
The Post Office Protocol (POP) server does not use external authentication
to authenticate connection attempts on the OpenVMS system. This causes
connection attempts to fail if either of the following conditions exist:
•
The external user ID is different from the OpenVMS user name.
•
The OpenVMS password is not synchronized with the external user password.
5.3.4 SET PASSWORD Behavior Within a DECterm Terminal Session
V7.2
A DECterm terminal session does not have access to the external user name
used for login and must prompt for one during SET PASSWORD operations. The
external user name defaults to the process’s OpenVMS user name. If the default
is not appropriate (that is, if the external user name and mapped OpenVMS user
name are different), you must enter the correct external user name.
The following example shows a SET PASSWORD operation initiated by a user
with the external user name JOHN_DOE. The mapped OpenVMS user name is
JOHNDOE and is the default used by the SET PASSWORD operation. In this
case, the default is incorrect and the actual external user name was specified by
the user.
$ set password
External user name not known; Specify one (Y/N)[Y]? Y
External user name [JOHNDOE]: JOHN_DOE
Old password:
New password:
Verification:
%SET-I-SNDEXTAUTH, Sending password request to external authenticator
%SET-I-TRYPWDSYNCH, Attempting password synchronization
