Airflow Indicator; Active Directory And Ldap Over Ssl - Sun Microsystems SPARC Enterprise M8000 Product Notes

Airflow Indicator

The Airflow indicator, added in XCP 1090, confirms the amount of airflow emitted
while the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers are up and running.
The Airflow indicator value indicates the volume of air exhausted from the server.
The values do not include the peripheral devices. To display the amount of exhaust
air, use the showenvironment air command.
XSCF> showenvironment air
Air Flow:5810CMH
Note – Airflow monitoring measurement values are for reference only.
For details of the showenvironment(8) command, refer to the man page.
You can also obtain the exhaust air data using the SNMP agent function. To obtain
the data of exhaust air using the SNMP agent function, install the latest XSCF
extension MIB definition file to the SNMP manager. For details on the XSCF
extension MIB definition file, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User's Guide.

Active Directory and LDAP over SSL

The XCP 1091 release introduces support for the Active Directory and LDAP over
SSL features.
Active Directory is a distributed directory service from Microsoft™ Corporation.
■
Like an LDAP directory service, it is used to authenticate users.
LDAP over SSL offers enhanced security to LDAP users by way of Secure Socket
■
Layer (SSL) technology. It uses LDAP directory service to authenticate users.
Active Directory and LDAP over SSL each provide both authentication of user
credentials and authorization of the user access level to networked resources. They
use authentication to verify the identity of users before they can access system
resources, and to grant specific access privileges to users in order to control their
rights to access networked resources.
User privileges are either configured on XSCF or learned from a server based on
each user's group membership in a network domain. A user can belong to more
than one group. Active Directory or LDAP over SSL authenticates users in the order
in which the users' domains are configured. (A user domain is the authentication
domain used to authenticate a user.)
