PC DirSync: Null Dir-Sync Password Settings Accepted on Server (116435)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.5
This article was previously published under Q116435 SUMMARY
For versions 3.0 and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, if the password
for the directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) server postoffice for each
requestor definition (the Config, Dir-Sync, Server, Requestor menu) is null
(that is, there is no password), the server accepts any password from any
requestor postoffice.
Setting the Dir-Sync server password to null means the server will accept
any password from any requestor. This allows the administrator to allow the
Dir-Sync server to accept input from any requestor, regardless of that
requestor's particular Dir-Sync password.
In this manner, the Microsoft Mail administrator can effectively disable
the Dir-Sync password option without having to change the individual
passwords on each requestor postoffice.
