To enable Solaris authentication, enter the following command:

# ./sgm authtype solaris

See the

“SGM Command Reference” section on page C-1

for more

information on the use of each of the above SGM commands.

Step 4

To add a user to your SGM User-Based Access authentication list, use the
following command:

# ./sgm sgm adduser username

where username is the name of the user.

Note

If sgm authtype is set to solaris, you must be logged in as the root user, not as a
super user, to enter this command.

SGM also prompts you for the authentication level for the user. Valid levels are:

1—Basic User

2—Power User

3—Network Operator

4—Network Administrator

5—System Administrator

For more information about authentication levels, see the

“Configuring SGM User

Authentication Levels (Solaris Only)” section on page 18-6

.

If sgm authtype is set to local, SGM also issues the following prompts:

SGM prompts you for the user’s password. When setting the password, follow
the rules and considerations in the

“Creating Secure Passwords” section on

page 18-5

.

SGM asks whether you want to force the user to change the password at the
next login. The default is not to force the user to change the password.

(Whenever a user needs to change a password, SGM issues an appropriate
message and prompts for the user name and new password.)
