[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] centrally administered user authorization

durham@MDC.COM (12/04/90)

What's available to provide a centrally administered user authorization
database? The goal is to allow a user to logon to any host in the network.
Some bells such password expiration and accounting records would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

We (Northern Illinois University) are asking the same question
right now.  We have not found any such products.  CA says they will
soon have a product to unite MVS, VM, and IBM PCs.  But it doesn't
look that good, and it does not address UNIX.  If you get any
answers we would appreciate knowing what they are.
