HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)
PATHWORKS Advanced Server can run on both VAX and Alpha members of homogeneous
or mixed architecture OpenVMS Clusters. PATHWORKS Advanced Server on Alpha systems
supports the use of ODS-2 disk volumes and ODS-5 disk volumes, a feature of OpenVMS
Version 7.2 and later, for share and file access by clients. However, PATHWORKS V6.1 for
OpenVMS (Advanced Server) does not support the features of ODS-5 devices; instead, it treats
the ODS-5 device as an ODS-2 device.
Integrating with External Authentication
External authentication is an optional feature that allows users to log in to an OpenVMS system
using their PATHWORKS Advanced Server user name and password. This feature is useful to
OpenVMS system managers who want to provide users with a single user name and password
combination for both OpenVMS login and PATHWORKS Advanced Server network logon.
If external authentication is being used in an OpenVMS Cluster, all cluster members should be
configured to process OpenVMS logon requests for network users. If one or more members
do not support external authentication, user logins might result in unpredictable behavior. To
ensure that external authentication works properly on the cluster, each node in the cluster
should be at OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 or later or OpenVMS VAX 7.3 or later.
For more information about external authentication for OpenVMS, refer to the Software Product
Description for HP OpenVMS Alpha and VAX (SPD 25.01.xx).
Integrating with OpenVMS Security
PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides an extension to the Windows NT security model by
supporting OpenVMS security enforcement as an optional enhancement.
Alerter Service
PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes an Alerter Service that sends automatic alert messages
to clients and users as specified in the LANMAN.INI file.
Event Log Service
Event logs provide valuable information about server activities. The administrator can select
from several event types and can select, for each, whether successful or unsuccessful attempts
at specific operations are to generate event messages. Security event messages are generated
based on the audit policy specified for the PATHWORKS Advanced Server and for files and
directories.
Replicator Service
Windows NT Servers provide user data replication across domain controllers using the Replicator
service. The Replicator service is not provided on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers. Therefore,
automatic replication of user files and directories on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers is not
supported.
