Novell DNS/DHCP Management Utility Administration Guide
The DNS/DHCP Management Utility manages one eDirectory tree at a time.
When the DNS/DHCP Management Utility is started in the browser, the first
interface screen you see is the login screen. You are prompted to enter your
username, password, eDirectory context and the eDirectory tree whose objects
you wish to manage.
Administration authentication in the DNS/DHCP Management Utility is
based on the common authentication mechanism provided by the underlying
eDirectory Management Framework (iManage) architecture.
To manage objects in a different eDirectory tree, you must log in to the utility
again, specifying the eDirectory tree you want to access. Your login identity
is displayed on the top of the screen.
The DNS/DHCP Management Utility is a Web-based utility and runs within a
Web browser window.
In the DNS/DHCP Management Utility, DNS and DHCP administration are
role-based services managed through a set of predefined roles and tasks.
