What's new for V5R4

This topic highlights changes to network authentication service for V5R4.

Network Authentication Enablement Product

In V5R3, the network authentication server shipped with the Cryptographic Access Provider (5722-AC3). In V5R4, the 5722-AC3 product has become part of the base release. In V5R4, the Kerberos network authentication server ships as a separate product, Network Authentication Enablement (5722-NAE). Network Authentication Enablement is included with the i5/OS™ CD.

You need to install Network Authentication Enablement before you can configure a Kerberos server in i5/OS Portable Application Solutions Environment (PASE).
