Glossary

member server

A server in a domain, which retains and uses a copy of the user account database of the domain but does not verify netlogon requests.

This server role is not supported with Advanced Server for UNIX. In the case of an upgrade installation from LAN Manager/X, a member server receives the server role backup domain controller.

messenger

This service enables the administrator to send a message to a particular client user or to all client users in the local network.

message POPUP

A field on a client in which the incoming messages from other network users are shown when the messenger and the Net POPUP services are active.

NetBIOS

A software module which connects the operating system to the local network hardware and allows communication between the clients and the network.

Netlogon

This service implements Netlogon security. If Netlogon is operating on one server in the domain, then all usernames and passwords, which must be specified by all logged on users in the domain, are centrally verified. Netlogon runs on all servers participating in Netlogon security. This means that the user account databases are copied to all servers in the domain. See also trust relationship, primary domain controller and backup domain controller.

Netlogon domain

The domain in which the users log on to the local network.

Netlogon process

Stating of usernames and passwords in order to access the local network. When the connection to the resource is established, Advanced Server for UNIX verifies the username and password before access is granted. For domains with Netlogon security, the username and password must correspond to a valid user account on the primary domain controller.

Net POPUP

A client service which issues messages on the screen as they arrive from other users of the local network or server.
