The security administrator for the security mechanism must define principals (both users and servers) to the security mechanism. Table 16-3 lists tools you can use to add users and servers.
Security mechanism |
Command or tool |
|---|---|
DCE |
Use the dcecp’s user and create commands to create a new principal (user or server). In addition, use the keytab create command to create a DCE keytab file, which contains a principal’s password in encrypted form. When you define a server to DCE, use command options that specify that the new principal can act as a server. |
Kerberos |
See your Kerberos vendor-specific tools for information about defining users and servers. See “Using Kerberos” for more information about Kerberos and Adaptive Server. |
Windows NT LAN Manager |
Run the User Manager tool to define users to the Windows NT LAN Manager. Define the Adaptive Server name as a user to Windows NT LAN Manager and display Adaptive Server as that user name. |
In a production environment, control access to files
that contain the keys of the servers and users. If users can access
the keys, they can create a server that impersonates your server.
See the documentation available from the third-party provider of the security mechanism for detailed information about how to perform required administrative tasks.
