Access Restrictions

in NetWare

Bindery (with

Authentication)

If user access control is required, you must define an

AuthenticationServer

. The CD-ROM server must log onto the

authentication server briefly to authenticate the user and

identify the groups the user belongs to. In this case, the

authentication server must have a standby license for the

CD-ROM server, but several CD-ROM servers can share this

license. If a license is not available, the user may still be

authenticated but group information cannot be read.

Authorized users have configurable rights to the volumes of the

CD-ROM servers. Authorization of users is done using an

existing NetWare server, referred to as the Authentication

Server in the configuration.

The authentication process reduces Network Administrator

overhead. The Administrator does not have to maintain a

separate user database for CD-ROM servers. If the user is

defined in the file server that the CD-ROM serveruses for

authentication, the Administrator will not have to do anything

to give the user access to the CD-ROM server.

Authentication in a

NetWare 3.x

Server

For access to the CD-ROM server connected to a NetWare 3.x

Server, authentication is validated through a user list in the

bindery of the NetWare server:

• If on the list, a user’s password will be verified and the user

will be granted access.

• If the password is incorrect, login will fail.

• If not on the list, the user will not be granted access to the

CD-ROM server. However, the user could login as ‘guest’

and get access to volumes that are not protected.

The access is controlled by creating or editing

NetWareUser/Group

entries in the access control files. The

following values can be used:

You may add as many NetWareUser/Group entries as you

require. See the following examples.

NetWareUser/Group
