NetWare Packet Signature Levels
NetWare Packet Signatures protect servers and clients using the NCP
(NetWare Core Protocol) services and prevent packet forgery by requiring
the server and the client to sign each NCP packet.
There are two levels of NCP Packet Signature: the Server Level and the
AXIS Print Server Level (also know as the Workstation Level).
Server Levels
Server packet signature levels are assigned by a new SET parameter:
SET NCP PACKET SIGNATURE OPTION = n
Print Server Levels
Print server signature levels are assigned by a new NET.CFG parameter
SIGNATURE LEVEL = n
Regardless of server level, the AXIS print server has the capability to log
in in Print Server Mode since it supports NCP Packet Level 3 (which is the
most restrictive).
These procedures are taken care of automatically. There are no
configurable parameters in the Print Server for choosing the NCP Packet
Signature Level. The AXIS print server adapts itself to the Server Level.
