<h1 id="whatsnew">What's new for V5R4</h1>
<p>iSeries NetServer&trade; has the following performance and scalability enhancements and new
functions for V5R4:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="bold">Threading support:</span> To increase performance, NetServer now supports the use of pools of threads to process client
requests. The new QZLSFILET job handles threaded requests.</li>
<li><span class="bold">Opportunistic locks:</span> Clients have the option of
caching application requests to reduce network traffic and server overhead.</li>
<li><span class="bold">LAN Manager password hash:</span> When enabled, it allows
Windows clients to authenticate with the less secure (not case sensitive)
LAN Manager password hash even if the more secure (case sensitive) NT password
hash is also provided and does not match.</li>
<li><span class="bold">Message authentication/signing support:</span> For more
secure communications between the client and server, NetServer now supports
connection request signing. Signing requests provides improved protection
from the following types of attacks: connection hijacking, downgrade attack,
rogue server and spoofing by counterfeit servers, active message modification,
and replay attacks. See <a href="rzahlmst02.htm#netservesignreq">Require clients to sign requests</a> for more information.</li>
<li><span class="bold">Windows-style messages:</span> The server can be configured
to alert users who are running Microsoft Messenger or similar service using
the iSeries Navigator graphical user interface (GUI). See <a href="rzahlwinmsgs.htm#winpopup">Use Windows-style messages with iSeries NetServer</a> for
more information.</li></ul><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
