4. Within the Authentication area, select Local User from the Mode drop-down box.
5. Enter a user name and password defined for a valid account and click OK.
Note
Local User Authentication for the selected cluster is enabled. Only administrators who
have accounts on each secured server can access and administer the cluster members
using their ClusterCATS Explorer.
Configuring Windows NT domain authentication
Windows NT Domain authentication lets ClusterCATS authenticate administrators
that have been added to a Windows NT domain user group.
Note
Before you can enable NT domain authentication on any specific cluster, you must
create an NT global user group within the domain you want to secure. You can do this
using the standard Windows NT User Manager for Domains utility. After you create a
user group, add users to it, and enable the NT Domain authentication mode from the
ClusterCATS Explorer, all users you add to that group are automatically authenticated
to view and change the cluster. All servers in the cluster must reside in the same
Windows NT domain unless a trusted relationship is set up between two or more
domains.
A global group must exist in the domain from which the ClusterCATS Explorer is
executed. Cluster members in other domains need only the trust relationship.
ClusterCATS requires you to enter a valid user name and password
after selecting the type of authentication you are using so that you
don't inadvertently lock yourself out of the cluster.
This authentication mode can only be used on NT servers.
