Verify MFDS Restricted Access

Once ESDEMO starts successfully, you can try enabling restricted access in MFDS to validate your security configuration there. Return to your MFDS browser session and:

  1. On the left-side menu, click on Security.
  2. Select the MF Directory Server tab.
  3. Check the Restrict administration access checkbox.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. MFDS will prompt you to supply a username and password that are authorized under the existing security configuration (to authorize the change to a new security configuration). If you still have the predefined security configuration that's installed with the product, you can use schemaadmin here for the username and password.
  6. MFDS will prompt you to supply a username and password that are authorized under the new security configuration (to prevent you from locking yourself out). Enter your ES-admin user ID and its password.
  7. If this works, you'll be sent to the MFDS restricted-functionality home page. Click on Log On and try your ES-admin ID.
Note: If MFDS is set to Restrict administration access and the MFDS Anonymous access option is off (the default), then valid authorized credentials will be required to access information stored in the Directory Server either via the legacy UI, ESCWA, or utilities such as mdump.
