MORE INFORMATION

FPNWAUTH.EXE is a command line utility you can use to enable or disable FPNW client authentication on a domain controller. This utility enables a domain controller on which the FPNW Admin Tools Only have been installed to authenticate logon attempts by FPNW users from NetWare client computers. By using FPNWAUTH.EXE, you do not need to purchase and install the full FPNW product on every domain controller that may authenticate FPNW users.

NOTE: FPNWAUTH.EXE should NOT be run on an NT 4.0 Server.

If you want to enable the domain controller to authenticate FPNW users, type the following at the command line:

   FPNWAUTH

   FPNWAUTH /D

1. Install the full File and Print Services for NetWare product on at least one domain controller in the domain (This can be, but does not have to be, the primary domain controller).

2. On all domain controllers that do not have full File and Print Services for NetWare:

   a. Install the FPNW Admin Tools (using the Add Software button in

         Control Panel Network).
   

   b. Run FPNWAUTH.EXE to enable FPNW authentication.

   c. Reboot the computer.
