This topic describes the IBM Director Login
window in IBM Director.
Introduction
When
you log in to the IBM Director Server through
the IBM Director Console, the user
ID and password are validated against the operating system's security subsystem
where the IBM Director Server component
is installed, not on the workstation where IBM Director Console is
running. The user ID and password must be valid on the operating system where
the IBM Director Server is running,
and the user must be authorized as an IBM Director administrator.
Fields
- IBM Director Server
- The name of the management server you want to log in to.
- User ID
- The user ID of the person opening the console. This user must be authorized
as an IBM Director administrator.
For IBM Director Console running on Windows,
type the User ID in the format: ComputerName\UserID. ComputerName is
either the local computer name or the domain, depending on whether the IBM Director service account has
domain or local privileges
- Password
- The password associated with the user ID.
- Use SSL
- When this check box is selected, IBM Director uses
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt data communications between IBM Director Console and IBM Director Server.
Note: SSL console
connections must be enabled. This is the default option.
