The NetUserPasswordSet API controls a user's password account in a domain. All of the APIs in this category (except NetUserValidate2) can be called from DLS workstations, but only to remote LAN Servers. NetUserValidate2 is not supported for DLS workstations.

There are five types of data structures in the User category: user account, user modal, user validation, application selector, and logon assignment.

A DLS peer workstation maintains its own user account database and access control lists locally. The peer workstation's user account is never synchronized with any other user accounts database, like OS/2 LAN Server domain's UAS.

A DLS peer workstation cannot handle logon requests and therefore, cannot be a logon server.
