Gateway Software
Gateway software runs on each NetWare server. This program converts DCE access requests from NetWare formats to ones understood by DFS. After conversion, the program sends the information to the agent program in the DFS client. A Gateway program may access only a single Agent program.
The Gateway program includes an administration utility that creates the DCE/File-Access environment on the NetWare server. An administrator uses the administration utility within the Gateway program to allocate DFS directories to a Gateway volume on the NetWare server. Once all of the DFS directories are allocated to the Gateway volume, users can edit data just like directories and files in other NetWare servers.
