needs to be performed on
every
Spider server connected with the network. If a
domain is used, the described procedure needs to be performed
only once
on the
Primary Domain Controller
machine. Section 3.1.2 starting on page 19 describes
how other computers running various versions of Windows can be added to or
authenticated within the domain.
For the purpose of this explanation, we assume that you are logged into Windows XP system as the
Administrator
. Launch
Control Panel
; click the
Administrative Tools
icon there, and then on the
Computer Management
icon. After that, in the components tree pane on the left expand the
System Tools
branch and double-click the
Local Users and Groups
line. The right pane should show two folders
named
Users
and
Groups
respectively.
It is not critical whether new
user accounts
or the
new group
to be created first. However, since having
the corresponding user accounts is
required
while the group is
optional
, the next subsection will begin by
explaining how to create a new
user group
.
3.1.1.1 Creating a new user group
The creation of user group is optional, but a recommended step in setting up user access rights on Spider
servers. Experienced network administrators know that it is
much easier
to assign certain privileges to a
group of users
once
and then simply add newly created users to the group rather than assign the same
privileges to
every
user individually.
To create a new user group, right-click on the
Groups
folder and select the
New Group
command from
the pop-up menu. You will see a dialog similar to an example shown in Figure 1.
