About user authentication

You can use an external authentication server (LDAP directory server, RADIUS server, or Kerberos
server for user authentication) to authenticate user accounts for P9000 Command View AE Suite
products and centrally manage the accounts with other application programs.

For each user, you can specify whether the account is authenticated as an account exclusive to P9000
Command View AE Suite products or authenticated using an external authentication server.

NOTE:

If you also want to link to an external

authorization server, you can manage the user accounts that

can use P9000 Command View AE Suite products per authorization group. For details on the necessary
settings, see “

Using an external authorization server (authorization groups)

” on page 354.

To enable external authentication for users, you need to prepare to link to the external authentication
server by setting up the server and registering user accounts. Perform the procedures described in

Linking to an external authentication server

” on page 353, and then perform the procedures described

in “

Changing the user authentication method

” on page 354.

To disable external authentication, perform the procedures described in “

Changing the user

authentication method

” on page 354 to change the authentication method to the one used in P9000

Command View AE Suite products.

TIP:

Do not enable external authentication of the built-in account (user-ID:

System

) and the user account

that is used for communication between Device Manager agents and the Device Manager server
(default:

HaUser

).
