NDS Login Account Requirements
Four essential components must be in place before the NDS
login account can perform the key operations described in the
Introduction.
The first component is object browse rights to the complete
NDS tree, beginning at the root. The Server Components use
this right to permit DiscView to browse the NDS tree when
selecting a new NDS login account and assigning the
DiscView Managers and Volume Users. Object browse rights
are easily achieved by making the DiscView NLM NDS ac-
count a trustee of the root. If object browse rights are filtered
out for a branch in the tree using the inherited rights filter,
the NLM NDS account will also need to be a trustee of that
container. If the NDS account is not granted object browse
rights to an NDS container, DiscView will not be able to
browse the complete branch, including any other container
objects it may have. Nevertheless, all other DiscView and
NLM functions will be unaffected.
The second component is object create rights to the container
where the server's NDS volume objects should appear, e.g.,
where the server's SYS volume object appears in the NDS
tree. The DiscView PRO Server Components use this right to
create an NDS volume object for each mounted CD-ROM vol-
ume. If the account does not have object create rights to the
container, CD-ROM volumes can still be mounted, but no
NDS object representing the volume will be created.
The third component is object browse rights to the immedi-
ate container of each user, group, or organizational role
assigned as a DiscView Manager or Volume User.
The fourth component is property compare and read
rights to each group and organizational role assigned as a
DiscView Manager or Volume User. The Server Components
use both of these rights to determine if a client running
DiscView is a Manager, or if a client is permitted to access a
CD-ROM volume. If the account does not have these specified
rights, some Managers may not be granted managerial func-
tions in DiscView and Volume Users may not be permitted to
access CD-ROM volumes.
