SYMPTOMS

a 32-bit winsli application

or
a 16-bit WINSLI or WINRUI application against the thunking interface on Windows NT,

the User and Computer fields in SNA Server Administrator or Manager for that session will display incorrectly. They are displayed as follows:

   User        Computer
   ====================
   Unknown     n/a

When using a 32-bit winrui application, the correct User and Computer fields will be displayed.

CAUSE

The application type was not set correctly for SLI applications. This fix also includes a small fix to the Wrui3270 (win3x) sample emulator included in the SNA Server Software Developer Kit (SDK).

RESOLUTION

The application type is now set correctly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.11, 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and 3.0. A supported fix is now available for SNA Server versions 2.11 SP1 and 3.0, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
