Configuring the Server

By making configuration changes, you can customize server
operation and can set access rights for security.
Some server configuration changes you might need:
•
Disable workstation access to the server using protocols other
than NFS.
•
Restrict user access.
This chapter provides information for some of the configuration
options, if they are general needs or relate specifically to UNIX
networks. If you are also using TCP/IP on your network, see
chapter 3 for additional features.
HP recommends the web method of configuration if a web browser
and IP and HTTP are available. See "Web Browser Configuration"
on page 3-12 for an introduction. Text editing is an alternative
method.
In the Detailed View (from the Quick Setup page), you can switch
off all access to the server through other protocols for which you do
not set up access restrictions.
You can disable Microsoft networking (SMB) access by using the
Windows (SMB) tab and disabling the NetBIOS Protocol Bindings
for both NetBEUI and TCP/IP. You can disable NetWare access
under the NetWare tab by using the Enable NetWare setting.
Do not disable Web (HTTP) access. Maintain administrative
access to the server using this web interface.
If you should ever need to disable UNIX access to the server, use
the UNIX tab and the Enable NFS setting.
You must restart the server to effect these Detailed View settings.
Access restrictions can be set individually for each protocol. If you
use other network protocols in addition to NFS, consult the other
chapters for setup of those protocols. (The default settings in some
protocols provide full access rights to all users, so we recommend
that you disable all protocols not being used, as described in the
previous section. If you do not, a user accessing the server through
such a protocol may be given full access rights, regardless of the
security configurations in other protocols.)
