Optional Access Control For Observe Mode; Authentication - Fujitsu Siemens Computers pmn User Manual

Optional access control for Observe mode

When a CentricStor V3.1 system is installed, the "xtccobsv" ID is set up by default and the
line "+ xtccobsv" entered in the home/xtccobsv/.rhosts file. As a result this optional
access control is initially inactive and no password is required for Observe mode. This
procedure is the same as in earlier CentricStor versions. To activate access control, the
administrator must modify the specified file and - as required - the password of the
"xtccobsv" ID on the
CentricStor V3.1 system (in the SINIX system of the VLP and, if required, on other access
servers).
Example
If the home/xtccobsv/.rhosts file contains only the file entries
"gui_computer_1 xtccobsv" and "gui_computer_2 xtccobsv", only these two
computers have access without a password dialog. All the others must know the
password, which may have been modified.
5.3.4.2

Authentication

After connection setup, client authentication takes place (in the SINIX system of the VLP
and, if required, on other access servers). Authentication with a password is performed
each time the program is started.
The passwords are defined as follows:
Service mode:
User mode:
Observe mode:
The authorization (Service, User or Observe) is forwarded to the applications that are
downstream (such as XTCC for monitoring/operating the ISPs). If the wrong password is
entered, an error message is issued and the query is repeated up to 3 times.
