Model 5390 based Port Passwords
To set Model 5390-based port passwords, set the port parameter ipx_security to N and set the
port_password parameter (in addition to setting enable_security to Y). In the following example,
passwords are set for ports 3 and 10 using admin:
annex: su
Password:
annex# admin
Annex administration Remote Annex R10.1, 24 ports
admin: port 3,10
admin: set port ipx_security n
You may need to reset the appropriate port, Annex
subsystem or reboot the Annex for the changes to take
effect.
admin: set port port_password wljc
You may need to reset the appropriate port, Annex
subsystem or reboot the Annex for the changes to take
effect.
admin: reset 3,10
admin: show port port_password
port asy3:
port_password: "<set>"
port asy10:
port_password: "<set>"
UNIX-based Passwords
Instead of using Model 5390-based authentication, you can use a UNIX host as the Model 5390
Access Control Protocol (ACP) server and store user names and passwords on it. To do this:
1
Make sure the Model 5390 enable_security parameter is set
to Y.
2
Define and configure a UNIX host as a security server, and, if you want, define and
configure another one as a back-up. (See Configuring the Security Server on page
A15-10.)
893-741-B
NOTE: When logging into the Model 5390 server, a Novell user speci-
fies a user name as well as a password, but the Model 5390 server
checks only the password.
