Configuring NetWare user authentication
NetWare user authentication may be configured in one of two ways: out-of-box
authentication and NDS authentication. The two methods are mutually exclusive.
Out-of-box authentication
Out-of-box authentication works as follows:
v Administrative access is exclusively granted to the ‘Admin’ user account, which
must be defined within the NetWare Bindery context of the server running the
ServeRAID Manager agent.
v User access is granted to all Bindery and NetWare Directory Services (NDS) user
accounts. For NDS users, the user account must reside within the same tree as
the server running the ServeRAID Manager agent.
When
logging into the ServeRAID Manager, NDS users must provide the fully
distinguished account name.
NDS authentication
NDS authentication is based on NDS group membership. To set up NDS group
membership, create and populate a NDS group for storage administration. After
you install the ServeRAID Manager, edit the ServeRAID Manager agent properties
file to restrict authentication to the new group.
For example:
1. Choose the group name ″.CN=StorageAdmins.O=Acme″.
Note: The group must reside within the same NDS tree as the server running
the ServeRAID Manager agent.
2. Using the Novell Administration utility, add the appropriate users to the new
group.
3. Add the following entry to the SYS:\RAIDMAN\RaidAgent.pps file:
agent.group.NetWareStorageAdmin=< fully distinguished group name>The
new entry should look like this :
agent.group.NetWareStorageAdmin=.CN=StorageAdmins.O=Acme
4. Restart the server.
Limited
user access is granted to all NDS user accounts.
