Perle 833IS User Guide 181
NT Domain NT Domain enables the Perle 833IS to use a Windows NT’s domain user database
for dial-in user authentication. The Perle 833IS server will collect the userid and
password from the dial-in client and will forward an authorization request to the
Primary Domain Controller (PDC). This feature will work with the Perle Remote
Client as well as other PPP clients such as Windows 95 and NT. The clients must
support the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP).
Users will be given the privileges granted in the Standard User Profile. See
“Standard Profile” on page 155. However, you can add a user record to the Internal
833IS User Database to define unique privileges. The User ID field must match the
user ID in the NT Domain Server. The password in the Internal User Database will
not be used unless the user is requesting administration privileges.
The NT Domain dialog box contains the following:
Protocol
Select the network protocol which will be used to communicate with the PDC. The
choices are IPX and IP.
Default
Domain
Domain Name
Identify the NT domain by entering the Domain Name. The Domain name can be up
to 16 characters long.
IP Address
If the network protocol used to communicate with the PDC is IP then enter the
PDC’s IP address. This value must be configured if the PDC is not on the same IP
subnet as the Perle 833IS.
