Perform the steps in this section to enable DCE authentication either from a Gateway Server machine or from NFS clients that contact the Gateway Server. Users authenticate from the Gateway Server machine by issuing the dfsgw add command; they authenticate from an NFS client by issuing the dfs_login command. A Gateway Server machine to be configured in this manner runs the Gateway Server (dfsgwd) process. The steps in Configuring the Gateway Server Process configure the dfsgwd process on the Gateway Server machine.
A Gateway Server machine configured in this way should also run the Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server to monitor and simplify administration of the dfsgwd process. The steps in Configuring the BOS Server Process configure a BOS Server (bosserver) process on the Gateway Server machine. Perform the steps in Configuring the BOS Server Process only if the BOS Server is not already running on the machine. (Note that you typically run the BOS Server only on DFS servers, but you can also run it on DFS clients. See Using Administrative Lists and Keytab Files and Monitoring and Controlling Server Processes for more information about the BOS Server.)
