Member servers rely on domain controllers for authenticating credentials of users requesting access.
Any domain controller can authenticate domain user requests to member server resources.
Extended Character Sets Advanced Server for OpenVMS V7.3 will support certain Unicode characters or extended character sets that are foreign to the Western European languages. The characters that the Advanced Server for OpenVMS will support at any time depend on the language configured for the server. As a result, client applications that must use, or choose to use, the MS-DOS format for file names, can access these shared files on the server by using the file's associated file alias name. Clients can use either the real file name or the alias file name to access the file, depending on the client's file system.
