Hi Barry,
For OVMS, you can use the Advanced Server for OpenVMS product to provide
single signon for Windows uses who access the OVMS systems (i.e,
interactively, remotely, and in most cases, for client/server apps).
The user specifies their Windows domain credentials when accessing the OVMS
system and, while rarely used after extauth is enabled on the user's SYSUAF
account, also keeps the UAF account password sync'd with the user's Windows
domain password...
If you use Advanced Server for external authentication (aka single signon)
only, there is no license requirement/cost. Client access licenses are
required only if clients map file/print shares offered by the Advanced
Server. External Authentication setup is fairly easy (set extauth flag on
the user's sysuaf account); if a user's Windows username is not identical
to their OVMS SYSUAF username, you can easily map the two using an Advanced
Server command. Trusted domains are also supported.
With recent versions of OVMS, I believe there are other options beside the
authentication provided through Advanced Server (Ldap and kerberos come to
mind but I'm not familiar with enabling them)...
HTH,
Paul
