• A Windows 2000 client will locate the CIFS/9000 server using DDNS
• The CIFS/9000 server will locate the domain controller (for pass-through
authentication) using NetBIOS and WINS
6.4.1 Name Recommendations
The conflicting name specifications for the various affected components when integrating
CIFS/9000 into a Windows 2000 domain can be confusing:
• RFC 952: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -
• HP-UX node name
o 8 characters
• NetBIOS name
o 15 characters (plus 1 for name suffix)
o RFC 952 plus !@#$%^&’().-_{}~ space
• DNS name
o 24 characters
o RFC 952
• DDNS name
o 63 characters
o RFC 952 + RFC 2181 + UTF-8
For CIFS/9000:
• Follow RFC 952
• HP-UX node name = NetBIOS name = DNS name
• Name is less-than or equal-to 8 characters
