Setup And Administration 2 Server Administrator provides security through role- based access control (RBAC), authentication, and encryption for both the Web-based and command line interfaces. Role-Based Access Control RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by persons in particular roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more privileges that are permitted to users in that role.
Server Administrator grants read-only access to users logged in with User privileges, read and write access to users logged in with Power User privileges, and read, write, and administrator access to users logged in with Administrator and Elevated Administrator privileges. Table 3.
Encryption Server Administrator is accessed over a secure HTTPS connection using secure socket layer (SSL) technology to ensure and protect the identity of the system being managed. Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is used by supported Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems to protect the user credentials and other sensitive data that is transmitted over the socket connection when a user accesses the Server Administrator home page.
Creating Server Administrator Users For Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating Systems Administrator access privileges are assigned to the user logged in as root. For information about creating users and user groups, see your operating system documentation. NOTE: You must be logged in as root or an equivalent user to perform the procedures. NOTE: You must have the useradd utility installed on your system to perform the procedures.

interaction with management applications such as IT Assistant, perform the procedures described in the following sections. NOTE: For additional details on SNMP configuration, see the operating system documentation. Sever Administrator SNMP Install Actions Server Administrator SNMP communicates with the SNMP agent using the SMUX protocol. When Server Administrator SNMP connects to the SNMP agent, it sends an object identifier to the SNMP agent to identify itself as a SMUX peer.
To change the default SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system running Server Administrator: 1. Open the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. 2. Find the line that reads: rocommunity public 127.0.0.1. 3. Edit this line by replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line should read: rocommunity community_name 127.0.0.1. 4. To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing: /etc/init.d/snmpd restart.
You can open the SNMP port by disabling the firewall, opening an entire external network interface in the firewall, or opening the SNMP port for at least one external network interface in the firewall. You can perform this action before or after Server Administrator is started. To open the SNMP port on Red Hat Enterprise Linux using one of the previously described methods: 1. At the Red Hat Enterprise Linux command prompt, type setup and press to start the Text Mode Setup Utility.
