IBM UNVEILS OS/2 DIRECTORY & SECURITY SERVICES BETA PROGRAM
IBM will begin beta testing its Directory & Security Services (DSS) for
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 this month. The shipping version of DSS will allow
more users to easily and securely access distributed network resources
on an OS/2 Warp Server network. DSS will integrate LAN Server 4.0 file
and print sharing capabilities with open, scalable networking features
based on industry-standard technology from Open Software Foundation
(OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Version 1.1.
The Directory & Security Services beta is available to customers with
the combination of OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry and OS/2 Warp at no charge.
DSS will be available for OS/2 Warp Server after the final product ships
in early 1996. Applications for the beta package are currently being
accepted via e-mail at majordomo@austin.ibm.com. Your request should
include the following two lines:
