Configuring RBM

Contexts

Within a context, a user can be a:

Manager

Operator

Viewer of items and their respective child configuration items

None

The child configuration items are:

Real name or IP address.

Server virtual name or IP address.

CSW rule

CSW Policy

Health check

Server port policy

Contexts have the following properties:

All contexts have unique names.

A maximum of 256 contexts are supported.

For backward compatibility, the context-oriented configurations that are not assigned to a
context belong to a built-in default context.

A context cannot be deleted if it is referenced.

A resource in a context cannot be bound to a resource in a different context. For example, a
virtual server in context C1 cannot be bound to a real server in context C2.

A resource in a context cannot be deleted if the user is in a different context at the time.

One default context can be configured for a user, if the user has privileges for more than one
context.

A default context can be associated with a template. If a default context is configured at both
template and user level, the user level configuration takes precedence. If a user is not associated
with any templates or roles, he has no privileges. The super user can create a default template with
a set of privileges, which is assigned to anyone who does not have templates or privileges.

Upon login, the user is automatically associated with the configured context if only one context has
been configured. The user is associated with the default context-if there is more than one context
and a default context is also configured.

Configuring RBM

The tasks to configure RBM are as follows:

“Create and set the context”

“Remove the context”

“Create a role template”

“Associate roles with a template”
