- Thanks for the response but I was already aware of the capability to set
- the Username/Password via NCP for a particular node.
-
- This method is not an acceptable as (1) the password is stored on
- the PC (security issue), (2) it requires more management when the
- password changes, and (3) does'nt allow the NFT default directory to be
- changed from the VAX side.
-
- What I am looking for is the way to configure a true PROXY account so
- that the USERNAME is sent to the remote VAX host and it verifies access
- via the VAX/VMS Proxy File/Utility.
