DOCUMENT:Q165700 13-JUN-2001 [sna] TITLE :SNA 3.0 Win 3.x Client Fails to Initialize Due to Security.dll PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbnetwork ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0, on platform(s): - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When starting an SNA application on the SNA Server 3.0 Windows 3.x client, the computer may stop responding (hang) or an access violation may occur. CAUSE ===== When the SNA Server Windows 3.x client application (or Wnap.exe) starts, the SNA client attempts to initialize the Windows NT security support provider interface that is contained in Security.dll. If the client computer has a different Security.dll somewhere else in the path, the wrong Security.dll will cause the SNA client to fail to initialize. RESOLUTION ========== An update to the SNA Windows 3.x client is available to correct this problem. With the update applied, the SNA client loads the Security.dll located in the WbinPath setting that is in the [WNAP] section of the Win.ini file, instead of any Security.dll that is located in the path. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
