Setting Password Security (NDS & Bindery)
In addition to the general security measures, a Novell setup provides further
password security. A password can be set on the NIC and within your
PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator setup so that when the NIC tries to
login to the file server, the passwords are compared.
To set the password on the Novell host for use in a PSERVER setup, you will
need to complete the steps as follows.
Netware 4.x and 5.x
1. Log in to NetWare Administrator as a user with security equal to “Admin”
on your Novell host.
2. Double click on the print server object you are using for your setup. This
will bring up the print server objects details pages.
3. Select the “Change Password...” button on the “Identification” page.
4. At the prompts, type and re-type the new password. Press OK when you
are finished.
5. Proceed to the next section to store the password on the NIC.
Netware 3.x
1. Enter PCONSOLE as
supervisor
on your Novell host.
2. Select “Print Server Information” from the main menu.
3. Select the appropriate printer and press ENTER.
4. Select “Change Password.”
5. At the prompts, type and re-type the new password. Press ENTER when
you are finished.
6. Proceed to the next section to store the password on the NIC.
Print Server Setup - HTML Method
1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the
print server over TCP/IP.
2. Direct your Web browser to URL:
http://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html
(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)
3. Look under the “Novell” section and add the new password to the
“Pserver Password” field.
Note
If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in
root
for the ID and
press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by
default.
