OpenVMS LDAP Authentication Patch Kits
OpenVMS Engineering is pleased to announce the availability of new
production quality LDAP Authentication patch kits -- VMS83A_ACMELDAP-
V0100 for Alpha Servers and VMS83I_ACMELDAP-V0100 for Integrity
servers.
These kits provide optional "login" and "set password" functionality
that utilizes the SYS$ACM system service for user authentication and
password changes. When this optional functionality is enabled, login
and password change requests are sent to the SYS$ACM service and
handled by the ACME_SERVER process’s authentication agents. These kits
contain an LDAP authentication agent that allows for login and
password-change requests to be directed to any LDAP V3 compliant
directory server.
These patch kits have been rigorously tested and are qualified for use
in production environments.
Once the kit is installed, detailed information on how to configure
the system can be found in SYS $HELP:ACME_DEV_README.TXT and release
notes found at SYS$HELP:VMS83x_ACMELDAP-V0100.RELEASE_NOTES

While OpenVMS is one of the most secure operating systems on the
planet, the software we use to manage it is sometimes outdated and
lacking. As a result, Secure, Supported, and Updated Management
Solutions are a requirement when managing today's critical OpenVMS
infrastructure. Yet, some software vendors have left you with out-
dated, unsupported products and have no plans for future updates. In
fact they have totally abandoned the OpenVMS customer.
Are you concerned with:
* Being unable to upgrade your VMS Management monitoring tools when
you upgrade your hardware or operating system?
* Not having secure management capability across your entire realm?
* Not having your monitoring tool understand the latest OpenVMS
events?
* Not having a product actually maintained and updated without
complaining to the developer first?
* Worrying about integration with frameworks (Unicenter, OpenView,
Tivoli, Netcool)?
* Using software that has features 10 years old while the industry
advances?

solution
that:

Quintara Update - 30 Jan 2007
HP Business Partner Brilliant Systems is pleased to announce new
features to its flagship Quintara web-based e-mail and personal
productivity software for OpenVMS. In addition to various updates to
the user interface, speed improvements for message searching, and
easier navigation, some exciting new capabilities have been
introduced:
- Notebook - Quintara now offers a personal notebook where users can
enter and manage text notes. No more scribbling notes on sticky paper
or the backs of napkins, now you can store your notes safely in your
Quintara account and access them from anywhere! Notes can be organized
by category, are searchable, and can easily be e-mailed.
- Mailing Lists - Quintara now offers the ability to create and manage
personal mailing lists for mass mailing operations. Full functionality
will be available next month.
- Personal File Share - Quintara now offers a speedy, virus-scanned
web based file share. Upload files from your office to your share and
use them at home or on the road without carrying a vulnerable USB
thumb drive around. You can also access OpenVMS files copied into your
share directory, great for checking on batch job log files, for
example. Since access is through your existing SSL-secured Quintara
session, the file data is protected in transit.
Stop by https://trysecureserver.com for more information or to sign up
for a Quintara demonstration account on a running Quintara Secure
Server system. Quintara is supported on OpenVMS 7.3-2 and greater on
most Integrity and Alphaserver platforms, and is available as software-
only (Quintara) or a packaged hardware and software solution (Quintara
Secure Server).

Has anyone heard anything on the TCP/IP (EAK or other) IPsec functionality?
Still two months of the quater to go I suppose.

The IPsec EAK is now planned for H2CY07. This is being announced at the
OpenVMS Technical Update Days that are held around the globe.
The Asia Pacific TUD is currently planned for April/May. I will make sure
this is announced in cov also.

Good to see you're alive.

Well that's a big "Could do better" stamp for you :-) Are we talkin'
December?
Just a suggestion, but can we now drop the EAK nomenclature and simply
bundle IPsec with TCP/IP .Next? (You know nobody's gonna install something
that says "Early Adopter")
Anyway all will be forgiven if you can answer me this: -
I have a Mickey-Mouse Webserver knocked up in DCL (see below) that is being
used to send an Applet I'm testing to my PC Browser it seems that once my
JAR (any) file exceeds somewhere between 7231 and 7244 bytes the Browser
client detects end of file on Socket and gives me this crappy ClassNotFound
Java error.
I really couldn't be arsed to install and configure a full blown webserver
so if you think 72NN is getting close to some TCP/IP Max seg size or looks
like 8192 minus o/head and I can simply Up some perameter for the time being
then please let me know!
Is it more an RMS COPY question?
I assume IE on Windows2000 is just doing a Streaming socket read; what's
causing it to barf?
Cheers Richard Maher
