Logging In, Logging Out, and Security
The log in and log out functions provide
security within the program. Administrative functions require access logins
and passwords to prevent the possibility of one administrator reallocating
or removing storage resources belonging to other clients and hosts without
authorization.
After installing SANscape, you should have
assigned separate passwords for the following three levels of security:
- ssmon represents the monitoring level of the software; it displays
alerts from the controller.
- ssadmin represents the administration level; it provides access
to Rebuild, Parity Check and Schedule parity Check
functions as well as monitoring.
- ssconfig represents the configuration level; it provides access
to the configuration commands and all aspects of the program.
- To log in, choose File > Login and type the assigned password
for the specified level of security.
If the ssmon password was specified when the server was added,
you do not have to log in to monitor the server. If the ssmon
password was not specified when the server was added, whenever the
console starts up, you need to log in as ssmon to monitor the
server.
Maintain continuous access only as the monitoring user. When you
select a command that requires the administration or configuration
level, a login dialog box is displayed and you log into that level
with the appropriate password. After completing your activity, log
out.
- To log out, choose File > Logout.
When you log out from the administration or configuration level,
you are given the option of logging out to the monitoring mode or
logging out of the server entirely.
When adding a server, you can set up
SANscape so that monitoring does not require users to enter the ssmon
password. For information on creating users and passwords,
refer to the appropriate platform:
Solaris
Linux
HP-UX
IBM AIX
Windows
