Application Access and Administration Access

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

When Directory Server is using the MFDS Internal Security Manager, any enterprise server that connects to the Directory Server to obtain or modify configuration information must supply valid user credentials. If, in addition, you have set the Restrict administration access configuration option, any user wanting to use the administrative features must provide credentials to log on. The features available to the user or application are controlled by permissions. You grant permissions to a user group. The users within that group can then perform the actions governed by those permissions.
