NMAS Methods supported on Linux, Unix, Windows and NetWare

Not all NMAS methods are cross platform. Some 3rd party methods are only available for the NetWare and Windows platforms. If the NMAS method you are attempting to use is not available for the platform you are running, you will not be able to authenticate to a server which doesn't have the NMAS method.

For example, if you are using a NMAS method that has not been ported to Linux and you insert a Linux server into your tree and add replicas to this server, when NMAS authentications hit this specific server, NMAS authentications will fail.

Note: This is a work in progress TID and will updated when new information is available. If you are looking for a particular NMAS method that is not listed in this TID, please use the TID Feedback link at the bottom on this tid and provide the NMAS method and vendor you are needing information about.

Note: It is impossible to list all NMAS methods, however this listing should help in determining if your method will continue to work as you migrate to OES Linux.

Note: "All Platforms" means the method will load and run on NetWare, Windows, Solaris, Linux, AIX, HPUX
