Enter user names and passwords in the acp_passwd file on the UNIX security server.
For more information, see Creating User Password Files on page A15-11.
The following occurs when a FastLink II software user logs into the Model 5390 server from a PC
client:
• The PC client passes the PC user name and password to the Model 5390 server.
• Security software on the Model 5390 server passes the user name and password to the UNIX
security server. They are encrypted when sent, provided that the Model 5390 parameter
acp_key has been set (see acp_key on page C2-10).
• If the UNIX server does not respond within a given amount of time (which you can
configure), the Model 5390 server calls the backup security server, if defined.
• If the backup server fails to respond and broadcast_security is set to Y, the Model 5390
server broadcasts to the network for a security server.
• If the user name and password the PC user specifies match a username-password entry in the
acp_passwd file, FastLink II software connects the PC to the Model 5390 server and displays
the DOS prompt.
• If no security server responds, or if the acp_passwd file does not contain the user name and
password, the Model 5390 server denies the user access, and FastLink II software displays an
error message.
SecurID Passwords
The recommended way to use SecurID for proprietary IPX users is as follows:
1
Make sure the Model 5390 enable_security parameter is set
to Y.
2
Set the Model 5390 port to cli.
3
Have the user dial into this port from FastLink II terminal mode.
4
Have the user press the Return key.
5
Have the user enter the SecurID password when prompted for it.
6
Have the user issue the CLI ipx command.
This sets the port mode to ipx and connects the user to the Novell network.
