Section 4: NetWare (NCP)
Setting Security Rights Because the StorPoint CD acts as a normal NDS file server, its NDS security in NetWare NDS rights can be set using standard procedures, e.g. ConsoleOne or NWAdmin.
To make all the discs available to some users only, follow these steps:
1.Login using an account with Supervisor rights.
2.Start the NWAdmin.
3.Remove the [Public] trustee from the root of the SYS volume.
4.Add the new trustee assignments to the root of the SYS volume. To restrict access to a particular disc, follow these steps:
1.Login using an account with Supervisor rights.
2.Start the NWAdmin.
3.On the resource you want to protect, set an inherited rights filter and filter ALL rights.
4.Add the new trustee assignments to the resource. This makes it available only to the users in the trustee list.
Note: ❏ The NetWare NDS access rights for the StorPoint CD can be set using Security Equivalence, Group, Container, Organization role, and User Objects as with any other NDS file server. There is no difference between how you use NWAdmin to set these access rights for a StorPoint CD, and how you would set the access rights on an NDS file server.
NetWare Bindery If user authentication is not required, you do not have to specify an Without authentication server. The Supervisor can login using the Server password.
Authentication Other users can login without password and will be considered to belong to the EVERYONE group.
No NetWare server licenses are required since the StorPoint CD does not log on to the file server.
If needed, you can use your standard NetWare administration tool, e.g. Filer, to limit access to the StorPoint CD system files to the Supervisor. Unauthorized users will still have guest access to the volumes. This is normally sufficient security for a StorPoint CD.
NetWare Bindery If user access control is required, you must specify an authentication server in the With Authentication Bind Authentication parameter. The StorPoint CD will need to log on to the
authentication server in order to authenticate the user and read which groups the user belongs to. In this case, the authentication server must have a standby license for the StorPoint CD. However, several StorPoint CDs can share this license.
Important! ❏ If “Station Restrictions” are used on the Novell server used for authentication, each user who wants to access the StorPoint CD need at least two concurrent connections to the authentication server.
