ACCESSBUILDER NAME SERVER
3.1. Overview The AccessBuilder “Name Server” software module is intended to reside on
a network node (Sun SPARCstation) and includes a security database
management program and a security name server program that interface
with AccessBuilders.
If you are not using the 3Com provided Name Server on a Sun SPARCstation,
you may skip this section.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the data flow during the authentication process
initiated by a remote client:
1 When a remote user dials into the AccessBuilder and provides the
appropriate login information.
2 The AccessBuilder generates a Validation Request to the Database Name
Server.
3 The AccessBuilder Name Server then initiates a database lookup request.
4 User database has retrieved the user record and delivered it to the
AccessBuilder Name Server.
5 The AccessBuilder Name Server then sends a validation response and user
data back to the AccessBuilder.
6 The AccessBuilder then receives the Validation Response and performs a
final check before allowing the remote client to access the network.
