Operating System/400 (5722-SS1)
Windows and iSeries passwords to match. iSeries NetServer also provides support for
the NTLMV2 password hash that the Windows PCs can be configured to use to
provide better password protection on the network.
• User IDs longer than 10 characters are now truncated to 10 characters instead of
being rejected when checking for an iSeries user ID. Now a user ID, such as
Administrator on Windows, would be the same as ADMINISTRA on the iSeries. This
should help compatibility between Windows and iSeries user IDs.
• A new iSeries NetServer Setup Wizard is now part of Operations Navigator that guides
you through setting up your iSeries NetServer based on the types of Client Access
clients being used. This new Setup Wizard also helps the user configure logon
support.
• iSeries NetServer now supports access of files larger than 2 GB in the Integrated File
System.
• Through Operations Navigator and APIs, a new Session Identifier can be used to allow
better management and tracking of iSeries NetServer Sessions. This is extremely
important in a Windows Terminal Serving environment where many users have
sessions through a single Windows system. Now sessions can be ended or properties
observed on single sessions rather than all the sessions coming from a single system.
• Windows NT Background services can now access the iSeries NetServer without user
intervention.
• Printer Shares can now be published in Directory Services (LDAP) for use by Windows
2000 systems using Active Directory to find printers.
• Performance and scalability features are enhanced to help customers consolidate file
and print serving on an iSeries server.
• NetServer is enhanced to support Linux Clients. AS/400 NetServer support of Linux
(clients) provides the same file and print sharing function as the existing AS/400
NetServer. Linux clients running with kernel Version 2.4.3 and later, and SAMBA
Version 2.0.7 and 2.2, can access NetServer functions on the iSeries.
NetServer function is planned to be available as a PTF for V5R1 during fourth quarter
2001.

supported. In the release following V5R1, iSeries NetServer will no longer support
Windows 95.
