Server Security File
Security information is
maintained in an optional text file on the server system.
The file stores unencrypted user names and unencrypted
passwords, therefore, the file must be kept in a secure
directory.
When user names and passwords are entered on the
Administration and Monitoring utility program (the client),
they are encrypted for delivery to the server. The server
decrypts the user names and passwords to verify
authorized access to the ServeRAID controller. If the
verification is successful, the ServeRAID controller accepts
commands from the client. If no security file is present in
the default directory or the directory specified by the -s
parameter, the ServeRAID controller disables security and
accepts commands from any client connection.
The security file contains one user name and password
combination per line. The user name and password
strings are separated by a colon (:), and each string can
have a maximum of eight characters.
Server Utility Name Resolution: The server utility
program relies on name resolution to determine the host
name from the client that is trying to connect. When a
client is trying to access a remote server, the server tries
to look up the name of the connecting client. The method
used to look up the name is determined by the
configuration of the server. Some possible methods for
this are Domain Name Servers (DNS) or HOSTS files.
With certain configurations, some timing delays might
occur due to misconfiguration or inability to access the
DNS. If problems occur, check the network configuration.
