Tárgy: Updated VMS Information
Dear Distribution Lists,
Enclosed please find the most recent VMS update which I think you will
find useful. The updates go out aprox every two weeks. I send this
document out in a text format to make it easier for folks (since folks
have asked why) vs Rich Text or a word doc. So far only one complaint
about readability which is not bad considering the size of the audience.
Many thanks to folks who sent in items.
Warm Regards,
Sue

1.0 Sue's Fav's
Camiel Vanderhoeven, an OpenVMS hobbyist and enthusiast from the
Netherlands, has spent the last few months writing an ES40 emulator.
Version 0.6 of this emulator has now been released under the GNU GPL
(open source). Though the SRM console comes up, and most SRM
commands
work properly, this version does not completely work yet, and is not
suitable for running OpenVMS yet.
At this point, Camiel can't manage releasing a completely working
version any time soon, therefore it's put up for download fro people to
play with. You may notice that the code isn't all "neat" yet. Camiel
felt, however, that he couldn't keep people waiting much longer.
The code can be downloaded from http://www.camicom.com/es40.
Make sure
to read the release notes. If you happen to discover mistakes in the
code, or if you have any questions, you can reach Camiel at
camiel at camicom.com. He'd greatly appreciate that.
BRUDEN-OSSG is proud to announce the addition of Kevin FitzPatrick to
its staff. Kevin is a former Senior Solutions Architect for the HP TEC
Group and is known for his efforts to meet the requests of HP's
OpenVMS
and Unix customers worldwide. He is a former OpenVMS Ambassador
and a
member of the Encompass Canada Board. He has extensive experience
delivering transition consulting workshops on HP-UX, OpenVMS,
Windows
and Linux.
He will act as the BRUDEN-OSSG Global Business Manager. Kevin can be
reached at Kevin.FitzPatrick at BRUDEN.com.

5.0 From our Partners
5.1 Process Software's VMS Authentication Module (VAM) v2.0 is now
released. VAM provides an added layer of security for protecting mission
critical applications running on OpenVMS VAX, Alpha, and Integrity
systems. The features include:
Support for RSA SecurID and LDAP logins. It provides controlled access
to both user-written applications and the OpenVMS system overall.
Enhanced access restrictions. Additional access restrictions can be
implemented using information in a system User Authorization File
(UAF),
such as allow login based on certain days and times. This can be used
in
addition to the restrictions defined in the RSA ACE/Server (aka
SecurID). These parameters can also be more restrictive than the RSA
ACE/Server.
Automatic failover authentication - If VAM authentication fails because
the LDAP or RSA server is unreachable, normal VMS authentication can
be
used as a backup.
Support for LDAP directories with the V3 protocol, including Microsoft
Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
Encrypted/Unencrypted LDAP transactions. All traffic including username
and password between VAM and LDAP server can be encrypted.
VMS UAF passwords may be synced with the LDAP server password (the
default behavior).
Multiple searches may be specified for any supported LDAP server, and
multiple LDAP servers may be searched. The system manager specifies
the
servers and searches on those servers in the VAM configuration file.
Fetch specified attributes from an LDAP directory upon successful
completion of LDAP authentication to a centralize repository of
information on each user. For example, users can login and get their
printer access information. This way, an administrator does not have to
keep multiple copies of access privilege information in the OpenVMS
system and LDAP
SSH single sign-on access to VAM v2.0 using MultiNet, TCPware, or SSH
for OpenVMS
For more information on VAM, go to
http://www.process.com/VMSauth/index.html.

systems are located).
Any help you can lend to pointing to the right people would be great.
