- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Windows NT Services for UNIX (SFU) password synchronization may post the
following error message in the System log on the Digital UNIX host on which the
Microsoft Encrypted Password Protocol (MEPP) daemon (SSOD) is running:
8201: user <name> does not exist on host digital
The following error message is posted in the Windows NT System event log on the
Windows NT server that is running the Password Synchronization service:
Secret key mismatch
The Digital UNIX host should post an "8203: secret key mismatch or packet error
for user <name> on host digital" error message.
CAUSE
=====
The shared secret key is mismatched between the SFU Password Synchronization
service and the SSOD daemon on the UNIX host.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, reset the shared secret key on both the SFU server and
the UNIX host to a matching key.
NOTE: The shared secret key is case sensitive.
