Changing Authentication Information

All responses by the Fabric Manager server for authentication requests coming from Fabric Manager

clients are logged to an audit trail log file. This file is automatically backed up on the first day of every

month.

Click Authentication Audit Trail to display the log file messages from the current month and the

previous month.

To change authentication information

1. Launch the Server Management Console.

2. Click the Authentication tab.

3. Click Edit.

The Edit Authentication Information wizard appears, as shown in Figure 24-3. The wizard fields

are populated with the existing authentication configuration.

4. Follow the instructions in the wizard to select an authentication method and configure the

appropriate parameters.

If you choose to edit the current authentication information, the fields are populated with the

existing settings. If you switch to a different authentication method, you must enter all of the

configuration parameters for that method.

If you select NIS Authentication (for Solaris or Linux), you must provide both the NIS ServerName/IP

address and the NIS Domain Name to configure this authentication method.
