Host Security Setup Missing Description of Services

Last reviewed: April 14, 1997
Article ID: Q165648

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The setup for host security is missing descriptions for the services. Setup for host security (from the Hostsec folder on the SNA Server compact disc), prompts the user to select components to install. Clicking this button presents the user with a list of services to install. When the service is selected, the description in the right window pane is blank.

CAUSE

These descriptions were omitted in SNA Server 3.0

RESOLUTION

Descriptions for the following services were added:

   Windows NT Password Synchronization
   -----------------------------------

   Manages coordination of password changes between host and Windows NT.
   Install in domains in which user accounts are defined.

   Host Account Cache
   ------------------

   Maintains database associating host and Windows NT accounts.
   Install in domains containing SNA Servers.
