Allowing unencrypted passwords
To get jobs from a Þle serverÕs print queues, the printer logs on to the Þle
server. However, the printer cannot store an encrypted password. If
encrypted passwords are used on your system (the NetWare default), the
printer will not be able to log on to the servers, even if no password is
required for the printer to log on.
For NetWare versions 3.1 and later, the default is to not allow unencrypted
passwords. Changing this setting to allow unencrypted passwords does not
restrict the use of encrypted passwords elsewhere; it just allows the printer
to log on to a Þle server without an encrypted password.
You must allow unencrypted passwords on each Þle server that will have
queues to be serviced by the printer.
1.
Type the following command from the NetWare console:
set allow unencrypted passwords=on
2.
This command takes effect immediately, but the change is not
retained when you restart the system. To ensure that the
command remains in effect after a restart, add the command to the
AUTOEXEC.NCF Þle on each Þle server that has queues serviced
by the printer.
