Bindery Server
With Authentication. If user access control is desired, you
must configure the BindAuthentication parameter. The CD-
ROM server must log onto the authentication server briefly to
authenticate the user and identify the groups the user belongs
to. In this case, the authentication server must have a standby
license for the CD-ROM server, but several CD-ROM servers can
share this license. If a license is not available, the user may still
be authenticated but group information cannot be read.
Authorized users have configurable rights to the volumes of the
CD-ROM servers. Authorization of users is done using an exist-
ing NetWare server, referred to as the Authentication Server in
the configuration.
The authentication process reduces Network Administrator
overhead. The Administrator does not have to maintain a sepa-
rate user database for CD-ROM servers. If the user is defined in
the file server that the CD-ROM server uses for authentication,
the Administrator will not have to do anything to give the user
access to the CD-ROM server.
For access to the CD-ROM server connected to a NetWare 3.x
Server, authentication is validated through a user list in the
bindery of the NetWare server:
•
If on the list, a user's password will be verified and the user
will be granted access.
•
If the password is incorrect, login will fail.
•
If not on the list, the user will not be granted access to the
CD-ROM server. However, the user could login as "guest"
and get access to volumes that are not protected.
To control the access, create or edit the NetWareUser/Group
entries in the access control files as follows:
NetWareUser/Group
*
<any user or group>
<entry not present> No access from NetWare
You may add as many NetWareUser/Group entries as you
require. See the following examples.
Description
Any user has access
Users with this name or in this group have
access
