The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

This article was previously published under Q163215

SUMMARY

Third-party vendors are offering solutions for alternative logon methods, such as using chipcards or additional network validation. If you use such a third-party GINA, you may find that System Policies no longer work correctly.

A popular example for such a GINA is included with Novell's IntranetWare NT Client Services version 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

A third party GINA is responsible for telling Winlogon about available system policies. You should contact the vendor about an update for the GINA package.

The third party products discussed here are manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
