1-2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
The AccessBuilder Security Package - NetWare/Workgroup software
modules are designed to reside on their respective server or client
workstations where they provide the appropriate agent software to
interface between the AccessBuilder and the respective security server or
database.
NetWare
Applications
The AccessBuilder Security Client for Novell NetWare Bindery/NDS Security
Clients work with the AccessBuilder server software Version 5.0 (or later) to
enable remote user access authentication to be handled automatically from
an existing Novell security database. The AccessBuilder login/password
information is validated directly against the selected Novell security service.
Each version is furnished on a single diskette.
The AccessBuilder Security Client for Novell NetWare bindery/NDS uses a
designated user database maintained by Novell NetWare Bindery or
NetWare Directory Services. It is designed to perform the authentication
process using these services.
Workgroup
Applications
The “AccessBuilder Name Server” module executes on a Sun Sparc station
running SunOS 4.1.x to provide integrated LAN-based security through its
own user database. The security database can then be used for automatic
validation of remote users logging into one or more AccessBuilder. This
software module is intended to reside on a network node where the
AccessBuilder can query the security database through the AccessBuilder
UDP/IP-based protocol. Also, a set of tools for managing the security
database is provided to facilitate database administration.

Compatibility
The AccessBuilder Security Client for Novell NetWare works with
AccessBuilder server software version 5.0 or later and Remote Client
software version 5.0 or later.
