hp.book Page 9 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Security Management in Specific Network Environments Access Restrictions in NetWare Bindery (no Authentication) When accessing the CD-ROM server, if user authentication is not required, then NetWare server licenses are also not required because the server does not log onto the file server. In this case, you do not have to specify the parameter AuthenticationServer stored in the CD-ROM server’s config.txt file.
hp.book Page 10 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM 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.
hp.book Page 11 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Example 1: Grant all NetWare users access: NetWareUser/Group = * Example 2: Grant access to all users in the group ‘salesdep’ and to the user ‘Daryl’ who is not a member of ‘salesdep’: NetWareUser/Group = salesdep NetWareUser/Group = Daryl Note ❏ You can always access the CD-ROM server using the user name ‘supervisor’ and the password specified by the parameter SupervisorPassword. The factory default password is pass.
hp.book Page 12 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM The CD-ROM server’s file system security rights are set up by the NetWare Administrator, as detailed below: 1. Login as Admin, and start the NetWare Administrator. 2. Browse the SYS: volume by double clicking it. You will see all the directories available in the CD-ROM server. 3. Select the directory or file for which you wish to set the access rights to, and right click it. 4. Choose Details, and make the required changes.
hp.book Page 13 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Example 2: Grant all Microsoft Networks users access: SMBPassword = * Access Restrictions in UNIX (NFS) When accessing the CD-ROM server using NFS, you may restrict the access to users with a certain IP Address, Group ID (GID) or User ID (UID). Access is controlled by creating or editing NFSIPAddress, NFSGroup and NFSUser entries in the access control files in the Volumes folder on the CD-ROM server.
hp.book Page 14 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Example 1: Give access to users with UID 100 and 101 and to all users with GID 4: NFSUser = 100 NFSUser = 101 NFSGroup = 4 Example 2: Give users with IP address 192.124.138.60 and 192.124.138.65 access: NFSIPAddress = 192.124.138.60 NFSIPAddress = 192.124.138.65 Authentication of a PC in an NFS environment PC workstations on a UNIX network can also be authenticated.

hp.book Page 2 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Diagnostic Test The diagnostic test will test the CD-ROM server’s memory and the operation of the connected drives. Before using the diagnostic test: • Users who are currently accessing the CD-ROM server will be interrupted. • The diagnostic test is only available for the first hour after you power on or restart the CD-ROM server. Also, you must restart the CD-ROM server before you can repeat the diagnostic test.
hp.book Page 3 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM http:///config/html/diag.htm Example Diagnostic Result The Front Panel Indicators The front panel indicators show the status of the CD-ROM server. The indicators have the following functions: • Status – Flashes during start-up. When the CD-ROM server is ready for use, this light turns OFF. The LED should remain off, unless an error condition occurs. • CD – Will turn ON when a readable CD-ROM is inserted into any connected drive.
hp.book Page 4 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Normal Conditions The Power LED is controlled by hardware and is always on when power is connected. See the following table to interpret the state of other LEDs. Event Status LED CD LED Network LED Initial power to unit ON ON ON During power-up/Self-test. Approx. 30 seconds.
hp.book Page 5 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM Status Indicator Remains Lit If the Status indicator remains on after start-up, this may indicate an error. Most likely there is a problem with the SCSI bus or a connected CD-ROM drive. Turn power off and check all SCSI cable connections. Make sure all connected drives have unique SCSI addresses and that only the last drive in the SCSI chain is terminated. For the stand-alone module, restore power to the drives and then to the CD-ROM server.
hp.book Page 6 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM CD-ROM Software will not run • If you have successfully inserted a CD-ROM, but software on the CD-ROM fails to run or generates error messages, the software may expect the CD-ROM data to be mapped at root level. In the Microsoft and IBM network operating system environments, you must then assign a drive letter to that particular disc. See chapter 4, “Mounting or Mapping Network Drives”.
hp.book Page 7 Thursday, April 2, 1998 4:33 PM A summary of the possible error messages is given below: Error Description Installation failed: NDS tree not found The server could not find the NDS tree. Please check the spelling. Installation failed: Administrator object missing The server could not find the user object specified in the NDSAdminName parameter. Please check the spelling.
