AS/400 IBM Network Station: Techniques for Deployment in a WAN
In developing the implementation plan, the company decided to use the
central AS/400 system at headquarters to authenticate the IBM Network
Station users at the remote sites. In this case, the Release 3 IBM Network
Station Manager for AS/400 is used for the separation of servers function.
The AS1 AS/400 system in New York acts as a base code server for the IBM
Network Stations in New York and also provide the DHCP, Authentication and
Terminal Configuration server functions to all IBM Network Stations. The AS2
AS/400 system in St. Louis acts as a base code server for the IBM Network
Stations located in that remote site.
Figure 125. Replicating Remote Boot Servers - Centralized Authentication Server
7.1.1 IBM Network Station Manager Replication to Remote Server
Because the central site AS/400 system is providing the authentication server
function for all IBM Network Stations, the objective in this scenario is to easily
copy the IBM Network Station Manager for AS/400 product from the installed
central site to the remote AS2 AS/400 server which allows it to act as a base
code server. In this environment, the users in St. Louis have user IDs on both
AS/400 systems because they need to access applications running on both
the headquarters AS/400 system, AS1 and their
local AS/400 system, AS2.
