Server/CD-ROM
Access Rights
Methods for
Configuration
The HP CD-ROM server can be configured to restrict user access
to CD-ROM drives, to individual CDs, and to the server configu-
ration. You can limit the number of users simultaneously access-
ing any CD to comply with user-license restrictions.
Access restrictions are set individually for each protocol (Net-
Ware, SMB, NFS, and HTTP). The default settings in some pro-
tocols provide full access rights to all users, so we recommend
that you implement at least two access restrictions:
•
Restrict access to the config and volumes directories.
•
Disable all protocols not being used. If unused protocols are
not disabled, a user accessing the server through such a pro-
tocol may be given full access rights, regardless of the secu-
rity configurations in other protocols. (See page 4-12, page 5-
10, and page 6-4.)
Access restrictions are set individually for each CD-ROM drive,
for the CDs inserted into the drives, and for the server configu-
ration files. The corresponding parameter values are stored in
individual access-control files in the server. Not all parameters
are used in every access file. Refer to the "File System Descrip-
tion" starting on page 7-3.
If you use Windows NT domains or NetWare NDS, you also can
set up access restrictions for those environments. See page 4-15
and page 5-10.
There are two primary methods on IP networks for configuring
the server and the access rights:
•
A web browser can be used to access the server's web page,
as long as HTTP is available. Just as you use the CD Access
tab to see the CDs (see page 3-8 above), you can use the
other three tabs—Basic Setup, Advanced Configuration, and
Management and Access Rights—for configuring. This is an
easy way to make changes in the configuration and access
files stored on the server. See the section "Using a Web
Browser and Server Web Page" on page 7-8 for details.
•
A text editor can be used to directly edit and save the config-
uration and access files stored on the server. Precision in
editing the files is required. (These access rights can be
restricted for other client workstations.) See "Using a Text
Editor to Edit Server's Files" on page 7-10 for details.
