Modular Messaging and the Microsoft Windows
domain infrastructure
Different versions of Modular Messaging relate differently to the
Microsoft Windows domain infrastructure at the customer site.
The relationship that a Modular Messaging system shares with the
Windows domain affects subscriber and administrator authentication, and
the relationship of MAS units to the Windows domain.
Modular Messaging and the Windows domain
Modular Messaging—MSS system.
When installing a Modular Messaging—MSS system, technicians create a
Windows domain that does not require any interaction with a Windows
domain that the customer network may already have. In fact, the Modular
Messaging—MSS system does not require that the customer even have an
existing Windows network. Messaging application server (MAS) units
are added to the Windows domain that has been created for Modular
Messaging. MAS administrators use logins that are configured in this
Windows domain. The Modular Messaging Windows domain can be
configured to 'trust' one or more customer Windows domains, allowing
MAS administrators to use their normal Windows desktop login when
administering the MAS.
Modular Messaging—Exchange and Modular Messaging—Domino.
Modular Messaging—Exchange and Modular Messaging—Domino
systems join an existing customer Windows domain. MAS units function
as members of the Windows domain set up by the customer.
Subscriber and administrator authentication
Modular Messaging—MSS system.
Subscribers using Graphical User Interface (GUI) clients or Subscriber
Options have to provide their mailbox numbers and passwords for
authentication. This authentication is not related to any Windows login
mechanisms. User credentials of MAS administrators are authenticated
against the Windows login in the domain created during the Modular
Messaging installation.
