Directory-Enabled Remote Management

203

In the example, security policy dictates general use is restricted to clients within the corporate subnet, and server reset capability is additionally restricted to after hours.

Alternatively, the directory administrator could create a role that grants the login right and restrict it to the corporate network, then create another role that grants only the server reset right and restrict it to after-hours operation. This configuration is easier to manage but more dangerous because on-going administration might create another role that grants users from addresses outside the corporate network the login right, which could unintentionally grant the LOM administrators in the server Reset role the ability to reset the server from anywhere, provided they satisfy the time constraints of that role.
