Access Control

The way you manage security in NetWare depends on the mode you are using:

NDS mode

Bindery mode without user authentication

Bindery mode with user authentication

The StorPoint CD acts as a normal NetWare file server, which means that you
use standard tools such as ConsoleOne, NWAdmin, SYSCON and Filer for
handling security.

Note:

❏ You cannot set up access restrictions for the NetWare environment via the

StorPoint CD Web interface.

Access Restrictions in

NetWare NDS

In NetWare, access rights for users in bindery mode is separate from users
accessing the StorPoint CD in NDS mode. For this reason, we recommend that
you disable bindery mode after you have successfully installed the StorPoint CD
in NDS and thus allow users to log on in NDS mode only.

Note:

❏ If NDS mode is not functioning, you can always access the StorPoint CD in

bindery mode by logging in as Supervisor. This is true even if you have
disabled bindery mode.

Default Access Rights

The default access rights protect all the system files, which means that only users
with Supervisor privileges on the StorPoint CD have access to those files.
However, all users logged into NDS can access the discs. These access rights are
set up by the following trustee assignments:

All users who have NDS Supervisor privileges to the StorPoint CD server
object, will have supervisor rights to the StorPoint CD filesystem.

The root of the SYS volume has [Public] as trustee, with File Scan, Read,
Write, Create, Modify and Erase rights.

The System folder has all rights, except Supervisor, filtered. Thus all system
files are effectively protected from normal users.

Notes:

❏ If the default security is satisfactory to your system, simply do not change

anything.

❏ You can change the default trustee assignments using NWAdmin.
