INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10

If you have an IDS instance running on Windows and you use the 
%Windir%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts.equiv file to 
specify trusted hosts, you expect an existing user with blank 
password from these hosts to successfully 
connect to the instance if one of the following syntax is used 
in hosts.equiv file: 
A) a standalone '+' sign, i.e.: 
+ 
 
However existing users cannot connect, even when 
CHECKALLDOMAINSFORUSER has been set. 
The users will get 951, the server will show 956. 
 
If the user has connected once via dbaccess, registry entries 
for the user will be created and subsequent logins will work 
without providing 
a user name or password. 
 
In an environment where there are several thousand users 
connecting directly on an application which does the 
authentication, this workaround 
is not feasible.
