SYMPTOMS

Currently, SNA Server does not support password substitution on the SNA System Services (SNASVCMG) mode, even though strict SNA implementations require that all sessions between two LUs have the same conversation-level security indicators. If the data modes support password substitution then the service modes should support password substitution as well.

RESOLUTION

Because strict SNA implementations require that all sessions between two LUs support the same conversation level security indicators, a hotfix is available to support this feature.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, and 2.11.sp1. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack.
