Administering security 103

Administering security

When you enable ClusterCATS administration security for a cluster, only authorized

users are able to access and administer the cluster, using ClusterCATS Explorer

(Windows) or the ClusterCATS Web Explorer (UNIX). ClusterCATS provides these

administration security settings for securing your server cluster environment:

• Disabled Authentication — this is the default setting. It provides no security

challenge, so anyone can access the server cluster with a ClusterCATS administration

tool, or even a web browser, and modify the cluster environment.

• Local User Authentication — this is the recommended security setting for most

clusters, residing in small to mid-sized organizations that have only a few

administrators. This setting provides a security challenge for anyone accessing the

server. The authentication is based on administrative privileges that you define for

specific users on each server in the cluster.

• Windows NT Domain Authentication (Windows NT Only)— you may want to use

this security setting if your organization is fairly large and contains many distributed

administrator groups that need to access your server clusters. To use this setting, you

must define your global administrators’ group in the form “

BT_clustername”, where

clustername is the exact name of the cluster you created with the ClusterCATS

Explorer. The global administrators group must exist within the same domain as the

clustered servers.

This section describes the following:

• “Configuring authentication on UNIX” on page 106

Configuring authentication on Windows

The following sections describe how to enable authentication for your environment.

• “Configuring local-user authentication” on page 103

• “Configuring Windows NT domain authentication” on page 105

Configuring local-user authentication

Local-user authentication lets ClusterCATS authenticate specific users per server. Local

users of a server must have an account on the server where the web server resides.

For example, if a cluster includes several web servers and you have an account on only

one, then you can only administer that server.
