Abstract

Fast Connect for AIX, announced with AIX 4.3.2, was IBM’s first step to let PCs take advantage of the performance, scalability, and reliability of AIX. The new version 3.1 adds powerful new features, such as user name mapping and remote password change.

This redbook walks you through the installation and the setup of Fast Connect on your server. It shows how to customize this product by declaring file shares, and print shares. Because security and ease of administration of the password databases on the network are two important tasks for the system administrator, this book describes which security models are available and how to set up your PC clients to communicate with the Fast Connect for AIX server.

For its in depth coverage of the Fast Connect for AIX product, this book is a must-read for I/T specialists who have to recommend a solution for AIX and PC interoperability, as well as system administrators who have to implement such a solution.
