requires the end user to create the appropriate Glider user account(s) on the Dock
Server.
Authentication is NOT restricted to local username/password. Any PAM method
(Kerberos,OpenPGP, SAMBA, Radius, LDAP, ...) may be employed.
The creation of user accounts and PAM configuration issues are outside the scope of
this document and support is NOT available from Webb Research Corporation. If you
don't know how to create a user account, you should not have gliders authenticate. If
you can't reconfigure PAM without help, you shouldn't change it.
12.3.2 Open account with Iridium RUDICS Service Provider
You must select an Iridium RUDICS Service Provider. Iridium does not typically deal directly
with end users. The capabilities, services offered, and costs can vary greatly between Iridium
RUDICS Service Providers.
To open an Iridium RUDICS account. You give the selected provider:
(i) The Public RUDICS IP Number
(ii) The RUDICS IP Port Number
(iii) $$$
After some period of time, the Iridium RUDICS Service Provider will give you:
(i) A
“number to dial”
. This will be placed in a Glider configuration file. All Gliders in
your fleet can
“dial”
the same number.
(ii) SIM card(s) that will be installed in the Glider.
This process may take 24 weeks depending on the provider.
Plan Accordingly.
If the SIM card(s) and
“number to dial”
are provided to Webb Research prior to Glider
shipment, the glider will arrive preconfigured and tested for Iridium RUDICS communication.
12.3.3 Configure your Network, Firewalls, and Operating System
Follow the procedures outlined in
Section 12.5 CONFIGURATION: Network, Firewall,
and Operating System
using the Public IP number and port that was supplied to the
Iridium RUDICS Service Provider in
Section 12.3.2
. The network configuration and
administrative policy at your facility may well dictate that you receive administrative
approval to make these changes. The actual changes may have to be done by the
Network Administrator.
