106 Chapter 4 Configuring Clusters
10 Select NT Domain from the Mode drop-down box.
11 Enter a valid user name and password that participates in the domain.
Note: ClusterCATS requires you to enter a valid user name and password after
selecting the authentication type, so you do not inadvertently lock yourself out of the
cluster.
12 Click OK to enable Windows NT Domain authentication for the selected cluster.
Only users whom you added to the Global User Group of the domain can use
ClusterCATS Explorer to view and administer clusters with ClusterCATS Explorer.
Disabling authentication
Disabling authentication lets any user employ ClusterCATS Explorer to create,
configure, or administer clusters. When a cluster is added, administrators have
unrestricted access to the content in that cluster. Therefore, you should choose disabled
mode only if security is not a concern (for example, in a development or QA
environment).
By default, ClusterCATS administrator security is disabled. However, if you have
previously configured the security mode for your cluster and now want to turn if off,
perform the following procedure.
To disable authentication:
1 Open the ClusterCATS Explorer and select a cluster with authentication enabled.
2 Select Configure > Authentication or select Cluster > Properties (both menu
selections display the Properties dialog box.) or right-click the cluster and select
Configure > Administration .
3 Select Disabled from the Mode drop-down box.
4 Click OK to apply your changes.
Configuring authentication on UNIX
To configure authentication modes for your clusters:
1 In ClusterCATS Web Explorer, click the Show Cluster link. The Show Cluster page
appears.
2 Enter the fully qualified host name of the server for which to configure administrator
authentication in the Web Server Name field.
3 Click OK.
The Cluster Member List page appears.
4 Click the Authentication link.
