If user access control is required, you must define an
AuthenticationServer
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
existing 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
separate user database for CD-ROM servers. If the user is
defined in the file server that the CD-ROM serveruses 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.
The access is controlled by creating or editing
NetWareUser/Group
following values can be used:
NetWareUser/Group
*
<any user or group>
<entry not present>
You may add as many NetWareUser/Group entries as you
require. See the following examples.
. The CD-ROM server must log onto the
entries in the access control files. The
