PC-DCE provides an integrated login feature. When enabled (which is the default setting), this feature attempts a dce_login whenever a user logs in to Windows.
The integrated login feature uses the Windows user name and password for the dce_login. This requires that the user's Windows user name and password remain synchronized with the DCE registry in the cell.
This feature automatically attempts to change the DCE principal's password whenever the Windows user changes his or her password with the Change Password... button in the Windows Login and Security dialog boxes.
