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.
