9. Does an Underscore character in the domain name cause Server Admin login issues?

Yes, an underscore character in the domain name is invalid. All other special characters (except the hyphen) are invalid too. Use case-

sensitive alphabets and numerals only.

10. How does selecting/deselecting 'Active Directory' on the login page of Server Administrator impact privilege levels?

If you do not select the Active Directory check box, you will only have access that is configured in the Microsoft Active Directory. You

cannot log in using the Extended Schema Solution in Microsoft Active Directory.

This solution enables you to provide access to Server Administrator; allowing you to add/control Server Administrator users and

privileges to existing users in your Active Directory software. For more information, see "Using Microsoft Active Directory" in the

Server Administrator Installation Guide available at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

11. What actions do I follow while performing Kerberos authentication and trying to login from Web server?

For authentication, the contents of the files /etc/pam.d/openwsman and /etc/pam.d/sfcb, on the managed node, must be

replaced with:

auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib64/security/pam_nologin.so

account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
