Setting MF Directory Server Security Configuration

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

You can configure the security configuration for the directory server. You can select to use the default MFDS Internal Security or you can configure security managers to validate against.

Note:
  • It is best to configure MFDS to use the default security configuration. If you do not do this, the enterprise server instance may not start because the Windows user account configured for starting ES is not known to the default MFDS security configuration.
  • The default MFDS Internal Security can only be used by itself. If you use this, you cannot configure any other security managers.
  1. On the menu at the left side of the Enterprise Server Administration Web page, under Configure, click Security.
  2. Check the Restrict administration access check box.
    This sets that security checks are applied to the directory server.
    Note: When you check this option, a login screen is displayed when you log on or change configurations. The user details you enter are verified against the security configurations.
  3. In the lower half of the screen under Security Manager List, click Change to display a list of the security managers configured.
  4. Select the security manager to add, and click Add.

    The security manager is added to the MFDS list.

  5. Use the Up and Down arrows at the right of the list to position the security manager where you want it.

    When performing security checks, Enterprise Server validates against the security managers in the order in which they appear in the list.

  6. Complete the rest of the configurations on the screen.

    At the left of the screen, select the Help > This Page option for detailed information on the options.

  7. Click OK or Apply to apply your configurations.
