1.0 Introduction
----------------
Welcome to the IBM Networks Primary Logon Client for Microsoft Windows
NT (hereinafter called IBM Networks Client). IBM Networks Client
is an add on to the Microsoft Windows NT Network function and enables
users to log on and go through the authentication process directly on
locations that include IBM OS/2 Warp Server domains, DCE Cells, and
Windows NT systems. It also provides to the Windows NT system all of
the OS/2 Warp Server functions, such as:
* Connecting to home directories
* Setting up and connecting to logon assignments
* Running shared applications
* Connecting to aliases
* Checking DASD limits
Using IBM Networks Client, a user's home directory and logon
assignments are automatically connected after the user successfully
logs on and goes through the authentication process on an OS/2 Warp
Server domain.
For Windows NT system users accessing DCE Cells, the IBM Networks
Primary Logon Client for Windows NT can support a user's home directory
being automatically connected after the user successfully logs on and
goes through the authentication process.
-----------------

use to log on.
3. In the Password box, type the password for this workstation.
4. In the Domain box, do one of the following:
o Select the arrow to display a list of domains, and
then select one. If the list is empty or the domain
that you want to use to log on is not listed, click
Discover. The network is searched for available domains
and the list is updated with all the Windows NT and
OS/2 Warp Server domains that the network finds.
o Type the name of the location where you want to log on to.
5. Click OK to start the authentication of your IBM Networks
Client user ID and password.
4.2 Starting the IBM Networks Client

5.0 Additional Considerations
-----------------------------
5.1 Security
There is a new group RoamingUsers that has been created to
allow the Primary Logon Client to control how user accounts are
handled during logon.
For accounts that are in the RoamingUsers group (accounts
created dynamically by the Primary Logon Client are automatically
added to this group):
o they will be removed from any groups they are a member of
prior to logon (except for the RoamingUsers group)
o they will be added to their domain or cell groups
o their password may be automatically synchronized with their
network password during the logon process (if necessary)
For accounts that are not in the RoamingUsers group:
o the Primary Logon Client will not modify their group
membership
o their passwords will not by synchronized with their network
password if it becomes unsynchronized
Installation of the Primary Logon Client does not migrate user
accounts to become roaming user accounts. If resource access is
based on local group membership, access rights should be changed
to include domain or cell groups that the user is a member of.
5.2 Miscellaneous
o "Logon failed (rc = 258)"
If you see this message, a timeout occurred processing the
request.
o "The system could not log you on. Your network account and
password are correct, but your local account password is out
of sync. Contact your system administrator to synchronize
your passwords."
If you see this message, the local account is not marked as
a roaming user (see Section 5.1). This message will occur
if the local password is not the same as the network password,
if the local account has expired or been disabled, or if the
local password has expired.
To correct the problem, the local administrator must either:
1) Make the account a roaming user.
2) Synchronize the network and local password for the user, or
re-enable the account.
