Ssh onto Solaris servers (which uses NIS)

Sys admin has provided me username and password and advised that solaris uses nis (and then I've been given hostnames).

I've downloaded putty but it gives me authentication failure. Nothing special I have to do if its NIS authentication?

It's a normal login. Putty and ssh should work.
