Enabling Distributed Administration
72 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
To enable distributed administration, perform the following steps:
1.
Verify that you have installed a Directory Server.
2.
Access the Enterprise Administration Server.
3.
One you’ve installed a Directory Server, you may also need to create an
administration group, if you have not previously done so.
To create a group, perform the following steps:
1.
Choose the Users & Groups tab.
2.
Click the New Group link.
3.
Create an “administrators” group in the LDAP directory and add the
names of the users you want to have permission to configure Enterprise
Administration Server, or any of the servers installed in its server root.
All users in the “administrators” group have full access to Enterprise
Administration Server, but you can use access control to limit the servers
and forms they will be allowed to configure.
Warning
Once you create an access-control list, the distributed administration group
is added to that list. If you change the name of the “administrators” group,
you must manually edit the access-control list to change the group it
references.
4.
Choose the Preferences tab.
5.
Click the Distributed Admin link.
6.
Make the desired changes and click OK.
For more information, see “The Distributed Administration Page,” in the online
help.
