SUMMARY
Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 supports client connectivity using the Windows 2000 Active Directory for Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95 client computers, as well as the &quot;sponsor&quot; connection method supported by SNA Server. When a Host Integration Server 2000 client is configured to use the Active Directory, a 3270 application receives a user list that is inclusive of both user and group assignments.

However, when the client is configured to use the &quot;sponsor&quot; method (in other words, locate servers using a subdomain), only the first match for the user is returned to the 3270 emulator (as in previous versions of SNA Server) in the following order:


 * 1) 3270 LU assignment to the specific user account.3270 LU assignment to the first global group that the user is a member of.3270 LU assignment to the first local group that the user is a member of.3270 LU assignment to a well-known group (such as Everyone).
 * 2) 3270 LU assignment to the first global group that the user is a member of.3270 LU assignment to the first local group that the user is a member of.3270 LU assignment to a well-known group (such as Everyone).
 * 3) 3270 LU assignment to the first local group that the user is a member of.3270 LU assignment to a well-known group (such as Everyone).
 * 4) 3270 LU assignment to a well-known group (such as Everyone).



MORE INFORMATION
The following configuration illustrates how the 3270 LU assignment works in Host Integration Server 2000:  Windows 2000 User/Group configuration:

Domain: SERVER2000

User: User1

Group: Server2000Global1 (contains user = SERVER2000\User1)

Group: Server2000Global2 (contains user = SERVER2000\User1)

Group: Server2000Universal (contains group = Server2000Global1)

 Host Integration Server 2000 3270 LU assignments:

SERVER2000\User1:

LU00020 (specific 3270 LU)

Server2000Global1:

POOL1 (first session instance of 3270 LU Pool)

POOL1 (second session instance of 3270 LU Pool)

Server2000Global2:

POOL2 (session instance of 3270 LU)

Server2000Universal:

DEVPOOL (session instance of 3270 LU Pool)



If a Host Integration Server 2000 client is configured to use the Active Directory, a 3270 emulator receives the following 3270 LU list when it runs under SERVER2000\User1:

LU00020

POOL1

POOL1

POOL2

DEVPOOL

If the Host Integration Server 2000 client is configured to use a sponsor connection, the 3270 emulator receives the following 3270 LU list only:

LU00020

The client can still open the other LUs assigned to them (for example, POOL1, POOL2, and DEVPOOL), but the user must manually request these LUs. This complies with the existing SNA Server 4.0 behavior.
