26-4 Fabric Manager Administrator’s Guide

Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP

Checking the Client Side

• Fabric Manager server running under Solaris or Linux when using NIS authentication:

<attribute name="DomainName">yourdomain.com</attribute>

<attribute name="NISServer">"your_NISServer"</attribute>

• Fabric Manager server running under Solaris or Linux when using local password

authentication:

• Fabric Manager server running under Windows, Solaris, or Linux when using RADIUS

authentication:

<attribute name="LoginModule">RADIUS</attribute>

<attribute name="RADIUSServerIP">yourRADIUSserver</attribute>

<attribute name="RADIUSServerPort">RADIUSportnumbers</attribute>

<attribute name="SharedSecret">your_sharedsecret</attribute>

3. Check the Fabric Manager server log for any errors:

<installdir>/server/server/fmserver/log/server.log

Example

Account Lockout

For switches running Fabric OS v5.1.x or later, if the Fabric Manager server is using switch-based

authentication while the password policies are enabled on the switch and the lockout threshold is set,

then unsuccessful Fabric Manager client login attempts might lock out the switch password. The error

message given is:

No indication is given that the switch password is locked out.

Changing Authentication Method

If you change the authentication method from Windows domain to either RADIUS or switch-based

authentication, and then revert back to Windows domain authentication, subsequent Fabric Manager

client logins fail with “java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError” or “java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.”

Note

If you are using the local password authentication, the DomainName attribute is missing

from the XML file. Also, if you are using the NIS authentication, there is an extra

parameter in the XML file called NISServer.
