    Hi managers,

    Could anyone point me at an updated Best Practice or details on how to
    get Tru64 5.1B users authenticating from the user database on
    ActiveDirectory.

    I've followed the Tru64 Security Administration manual, so have installed
    the relevant extensions to the ActiveDirectory schema, and MMC
    extensions, however I can't get a telnet session to authenticate using a
    Windows username and password.

    I think I'm probably hitting a username length issue somewhere, but I'm
    not too sure. Our windows usernames are generally longer than 8
    characters...

    On the one attempt I got something other than login incorrect I saw the
    following in the sialog file:

    SIA:EVENT Wed Jun 4 16:54:55 2003
    Successful session authentication for firstname_lastname on /dev/pts/2
    SIA:EVENT Wed Jun 4 16:54:55 2003
    Successful establishment of session
    SIA:EVENT Wed Jun 4 16:54:55 2003
    Successful launching of session
    SIA:ERROR Wed Jun 4 16:54:55 2003
    Failure in local launch mechanism.
    SIA:ERROR Wed Jun 4 16:54:56 2003
    Failure to launch session

    Any pointers would be gratefully received.

    Cheers,

    Rob Leadbeater
