About this document
The Release Notes topics include late technical information that is not included in other topics, and they
highlight new functions for the IBM AIX 7.2 with Technology Level 2 licensed program.
Highlighting
The following highlighting conventions are used in this document:
Bold Identifies commands, subroutines, keywords, files, structures, directories, and other
items whose names are predefined by the system. Bold also identifies graphical
objects such as buttons, labels, and icons that the you select.
Italics Identifies parameters whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the user.
Identifies examples of specific data values, examples of text similar to what you
Monospace
might see displayed, examples of portions of program code similar to what you might
write as a programmer, messages from the system, or information you type.
Case-sensitivity in AIX
Everything in the AIX operating system is case-sensitive, which means that it distinguishes between
uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, you can use the ls command to list files. If you type LS,
the system responds that the command is not found. Likewise, FILEA, FiLea, and filea are three
distinct file names, even if they reside in the same directory. To avoid causing undesirable actions to be
performed, always ensure that you use the correct case.
ISO 9000
ISO 9000 registered quality systems were used in the development and manufacturing of this product.
Before you use this software, you should go to the Fix Central website and install the latest available fixes
that address security vulnerabilities and other critical issues.

IBM Network Authentication Service Version 1.6.0.4 for the AIX environment is a network-authentication
protocol based on the IETF RFC 1510 standards protocol for the Kerberos V5 IBM Network
Authentication Service. The IBM Network Authentication Service includes the Generic Security Service
API (GSSAPI) and the Key Distribution Center (KDC) server. With IBM Network Authentication Service, AIX
middleware and external application writers can use authenticated and optionally encrypted message
flow between their respective components.
The IBM Network Authentication Service (NAS) fileset is updated with AIX VRMF 16.0.4. The fileset also
includes the SPNEGO feature.
• All of the impacted vulnerabilities reported until MIT Kerberos version 1.15.1 is back ported to this
fileset.
• Additional packaging-related changes have been done in this fileset to remove redundant dependency
on bos.net.tcp.client.
To download the latest version of NAS fileset, see the AIX Web Download Pack Programs website.
