I understood your writing as follows.
NT Domain Controller and AFS authentication servers on UNIX plaforms
have the same ID. If so, because when users change NT password
AFS password on UNIX platforms is automatically updated by the GINA,
IIS webserver can authenticate an AFS user like a NT user
by only writing an IIS ISAPI AuthFilter extension.
Is the above understanding correct?
If so, is it the same between the old GINA and the new one?
Another question is the way how NT password can be updated
when AFS password on UNIX is changed. Is it the listener?
Will the new GINA include the GINA, the listner, and
the IIS extension? If so, I shall expect you to announce on May.
Thank you very much..
