摘要:
A method and system for adding a secured network server to an existing network for access by a client thereof, wherein the added server does not possess a database of authentication credentials. The client is first authenticated for access to the added server by passing authentication requests received from the client to an authenticating agent having a database of authentication credentials, which may include information from a bindery comprising users, groups and passwords. The responses from the authenticating agent are then evaluated, and if the response indicates validity, the client is the granted access to the added server. Database services are provided to the authenticated client by first evaluating database requests received from the client. Requests seeking information maintained by the authenticating agent are handled by passing the requests to the authenticating agent and using its response to reply to the client.
摘要:
A system and method for operating a network client machine to simultaneously utilize two protocol stacks which implement the same protocol. The system and method routes incoming packets of information into the appropriate protocol stack by prescanning the incoming packet and comparing a portion of the packet with a table in memory of sockets used for one of the two stacks. If a match exists with any entry in the table, the system and method routes the packet to the appropriate stack. If no match is found between the incoming packet and the table, the packet may then be offered to the second protocol stack. The unique socket numbers are selected by one of the protocol stacks while both stacks maintain a table of active sockets.

摘要:
a method and system for providing a dual namespace client is disclosed. The present invention provides support and compatibility to a filesystem of a client which may have multiple local namespaces. In an embodiment of the present invention where the client is a node supported by a network server, the client, by communicating with and querying the network server, is able to direct the server to follow the client's rules governing appropriate filesystem operations. The integrity of the names of the files or entries stored on the network server are maintained without requiring any modifications to the structure or operation of the server itself.
摘要:
A section of text in an electronic document is marked with a tag that designates a list of font faces for use in drawing the text at a computer which is remotely browsing the electronic document from a computer network. A browser at the computer chooses a font face for drawing the text from the font faces installed on the computer according to the tag-designated list, such as by matching font face name or set of font face characteristics. The browser also can include an alternative font table which stores data identifying alternative font faces for many common font faces. The browser searches the installed font faces for the alternative font faces to those in the tag-designated list when a direct match to the tag-designated font faces is not found.
