SYMPTOMS
When you change a user account's NT domain password from a Macintosh
client, the password is not synchronized with FPNW. If you try to log on to
FPNW server from a Novell client using this account with the new password,
the logon will fail.
CAUSE
The Service for Macintosh does not set the Netware compatible encrypted
form of the password stored in the user record.
WORKAROUND
You will need to change the user account password from one of the
following:
- NT's User Manager from a workstation/server that has had FPNW (or FPNW
tools) installed.
- From the Change Password dialog from the cntl-alt-delete screen of
Windows NT.
- From a Netware compatible client or MS-DOS networking client running the
chgpass that is included with FPNW.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in NT 3.51 and FPNW version
3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
