Manuals

If you order the AIX Expansion Pack CD, you can access the network authentication service documentation. Although the manuals are written for the AIX®, Solaris, and Linux operating systems, you can use many of the network authentication service commands on the IBM i operating system. When you install the network authentication service product on your AIX system, the documentation is installed in the /usr/lpp/krb5/doc/pdf/en_US directory.

In addition, if you install the Network Authentication Enablement product (5770-NAE) on your system, you can access the same manuals in both PDF and HTML formats from the /usr/lpp/krb5/doc/ directory.
