“Introduction” under on “OnBoard Authentication Options” on page 4” and
“OnBoard User and Group Configuration Options” on page 12.
See the following examples:
• The OnBoard uses local authentication, and the administrator logs into the
OnBoard using the OnBoard username and password pair: root/
root_password.
• The administrator tests the rsa.default command template on a
server called rack1_ibm_e306_rsa, which is configured for RADIUS
authentication with username scottb and password cycl123. The
administrator must enter scottb and cycl123 to perform the test.
• The administrator tests the rsa.default command template on a
server called rack2_ibm_e306_rsa, which is configured for LDAP
authentication with username sburns and password 123cycl. The
administrator must enter sburns and 123cyclto perform the test.
• The administrator tests the rsa.default command template on a
server called rack3_ibm_e306_rsa, which is configured for local
authentication. The administrator must enter the same username/password
pair that was entered to access the OnBoard (root/root_password.) to
perform the test.
Each set of commands may be tested in any order after the login test is
performed. Errors are generated if a command is entered out of logical order;
for example, if the Reset command is issued for a server that is not powered
on. After any test you can return to the editor to make changes.
While using the editor to “Edit,” “Copy,” or create a “New” template,
you can edit or delete fields and add comments. When the file is saved,
error checking is performed. If an error is found, you are prompted
either to enter the editor again to fix the error, or to discard the changes.
You cannot change templates whose name ends with .default.
onbdtemplate warns about this restriction if you try to edit or rename
these templates, and it requests confirmation before allowing you to
create a new template with a
.default suffix through the “New,”
“Rename,” or “Copy” functions.
