AXIS StorPoint CD Token Ring - User’s Manual 57
NetWare Bindery
With Authentication
If user access control is required, you must specify an authentication server in the
Bind Authentication parameter. StorPoint CD will need to log on to the
authentication server in order to authenticate the user and read which groups the
user belongs to. In this case, the authentication server must have a standby
license for StorPoint CD. However, several StorPoint CDs can share this license.
Important!
If “Station Restrictions” are used on the Novell server used for
authentication, each user who wants to access the StorPoint CD need at
least two concurrent connections to the authentication server.
If a license is not available, the user will still be authenticated but group
information cannot be read.
The authenticated users can access the discs according to the access rights set up
by the Administrator.
The authentication procedure will not introduce any extra administrator
overhead as there is no need for maintaining a separate user database for
StorPoint CD. If the user is defined in the file server that StorPoint CD uses for
authentication, the user will automatically have access to the StorPoint CD.
Authentication to a
NetWare 3.x Server
For access to a StorPoint CD connected to a NetWare 3.x server, authentication
is done against the user list in the bindery of the NetWare server:
• If a user is on the list, the password will be verified. If the password is
correct, the user will be granted access.
• If the password is incorrect, login will fail.
If a user is not on the list, he will not be granted access. However, he could login
as ‘guest’ and get access to volumes that are not protected.
Default Access Rights The default access rights in NetWare bindery mode are set up by the following
trustee assignments:
• The root of the SYS volume has [EVERYONE] as trustee, with File Scan,
Read, Write, Create, Modify and Erase rights.
• The System folder has all rights, except Supervisor, filtered. Thus all system
files are effectively protected from normal users.
Note:
You can use Filer to change the default access rights.
