When creating a security officer, the name is an optional parameter on the command line. If the security officer name is omitted, vcaadm will prompt you for the name. (See “Naming Requirements” on page 69.)

vcaadm{vcaN@hostname, sec_officer}> create so Alice Enter new security officer password: Confirm password:

Security Officer Alice created successfully.

vcaadm{vcaN@hostname, sec_officer}> create so New security officer name: Bob

Enter new security officer password: Confirm password:

Security Officer Bob created successfully.

Populating a Keystore With Users

These user names are known only within the domain of the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board and do not need to be identical to the UNIX user name that the web server process actually runs as.

When creating a user, the user name is an optional parameter on the command line. If the user name is omitted, vcaadm will prompt you for the user name. (See “Naming Requirements” on page 69.)

vcaadm{vcaN@hostname, sec_officer}> create user web_admin Enter new user password:

Confirm password:

User web_admin created successfully.

vcaadm{vcaN@hostname, sec_officer}> create user New user name: Tom

Enter new user password: Confirm password:

User Tom created successfully.

Users must use this password when authenticating during a web server startup.

Caution –User’s must remember their password. Without the password, the users cannot access their keys. There is no way to retrieve a lost password.

4000 specifications

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
