AXIS StorPoint CD User’s Manual
Access to the configuration files and the access rights files is now
limited to the Supervisor, and the password will be verified by the
StorPoint CD. Unauthorized users will still have guest access to the
CD-ROMs. This is normally sufficient security for a StorPoint CD.
NetWare Bindery
With Authentication
If user access control is required, you have to define an authentication
server. The StorPoint CD needs to log on to the authentication server
briefly in order to authenticate the user and read which groups he
belongs to. In this case, the authentication server must have a standby
license for the StorPoint CD, but several CD-ROM servers can share
this license. If a license is not available, the user will still be
authenticated but group information cannot be read.
Authorized users have configurable rights to the volumes of the
StorPoint CDs. Authorization of users is done using an existing
NetWare server specified by the
BindAuthentication
parameter in
the configuration file.
The authentication procedure reduces the Network Administrator
overhead as there is no need for maintaining a separate user database
for the StorPoint CDs. If the user is defined in the file server that the
StorPoint CD uses for authentication, the Administrator will not have
to do anything in order to give the user access to the StorPoint CD.
Authentication in a
NetWare 3.x Server
For access to a StorPoint CD connected to a NetWare 3.x server,
authentication is done against the user list in the bindery of the
NetWare server:
•
If a user is on the list, the password will be verified. If the
password is correct, the user will be granted access.
•
If the password is incorrect, login will fail.
•
If a user is not on the list, he will not be granted access to the
StorPoint CD. However, he could login as ‘guest’ and get access
to volumes that are not protected.
