Privilege Levels to Access Server Administrator Services
Table 2-3 summarizes which user levels have privileges to access and manage
Server Administrator Services.
Table 2-4 defines the user privilege level abbreviations used in Table 2-3.
Authentication
The Server Administrator authentication scheme ensures that the access
types are assigned to the correct user privileges. Additionally, when you invoke
the CLI, the Server Administrator authentication scheme validates the
context within which the current process is running. This authentication
scheme ensures that all Server Administrator functions, whether accessed
through the Server Administrator home page or CLI, are properly
authenticated.
Microsoft Windows Authentication
For supported Windows operating systems, Server Administrator
authentication uses Integrated Windows Authentication (formerly called
NTLM) to authenticate. This authentication system allows Server
Administrator security to be incorporated in an overall security scheme for
your network.
