NSC helps users on client workstations to coordinate logons and synchronize passwords across multiple locally-attached workstations and central-site host security facilities. It is a single interface to the multiple systems on which the user has accounts.
A user can enter his user ID and password one time to execute signon operations to the following:
o Local OS/2 or DOS workstation
o OS/2 LAN server domains
o Hosts attached to the workstation or to NSC servers
o Remote NSC servers, such as OS/2 database servers
