Password Synchronization Requirements
For the password synchronization service to function, the work environment must meet the
following criteria.
Implementing Password Synchronization
The password synchronization service is a service residing on the NFS server. The service
does not have to be on the same server as the NFS server, but the service is included on each
NAS 1000s device. The password synchronization service detects updates on the Windows NT
side and transmits the changes to the target UNIX machines, as specified in the service
configuration.
To access the password synchronization module on the NAS device, use Terminal Services to
access the NAS Management Console. From the NAS Management Console, select File
Sharing, Services for UNIX, and Password Synchronization.
Configuring Advanced Settings
To configure advanced settings for password synchronization, use the following procedures:
1. Type the name or IP address of the UNIX computer in the Computer Name box.
2. Click Add and then click Configure. The password synchronization settings dialog box
This dialog box allows the user to perform steps such as supplying new encryption keys or
changing password synchronization port numbers.

The password synchronization service must be installed on the primary and backup
domain controllers. Click the Advanced button to select settings other than default.
