<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario 2: Set up an administration system for Central Settings</h1>
<div><p>This scenario is based on the same setup as scenario 1, but it
also demonstrates how to define the system as an administration system, which
contains Central Settings.</p>
<div class="section"><p>In scenario 1, you set up Application Administration on a system
to administer who has access to specific manufacture and finance applications.
By defining the system as an administration system, you can administer Central
Settings. <span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />These settings allow you to use the
advanced settings that allow you to control sign on, connections, language,
environments, service, password information, and to determine automatically
if new plug-ins are available. In addition, you will also be able to control
access to several additional functions of iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup>.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Step 1: Plan your administration system strategy</h4><dl><dt class="dlterm">Which users do you want to administer?</dt>
<dd>Since all users have specific access settings for various functions, you
need to administer all users so the access settings are enforced. Otherwise,
all users would have access to all functions. </dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Do you want all users who install using the modified installation image
to use a specified administration system?</dt>
<dd>The only server available to the manufacturing and finance people is Server001.
This server contains every user's advanced settings, so when users install,
you want them to automatically use Server001 as their administration system.
Since this is the only administration system in their environment, you will
specify Server001 as the installation image administration system.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">How often do you want to validate the client-side cache to ensure that
the client's settings match the settings stored on the administration system?</dt>
<dd>The Central Settings will not change often after they are initially set
up, but any changes should be distributed to all iSeries Access for Windows clients
in your network within a week. Because of this, you should set the scan frequency
to <span class="uicontrol">Once every seven days</span>.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Which iSeries Access
for Windows applications
that are managed through Central Settings should be available to users and
groups?</dt>
<dd>You want all centrally managed applications available to all users and
groups except the Remote Command-Command Line administrable function.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Which advanced settings should be mandated versus suggested?</dt>
<dd>You want to make sure all users are signing on to the system using their
default user ID (prompting as needed) and that a warning message is sent to
them before their password expires. Therefore, sign on information and password
expire warning will be mandated. This will ensure that the user does not change
these two settings. All other advanced settings will be in a suggested state
so the system administrator can suggest a value but the user will still be
able to modify it.</dd>
