Create authentication entries
Before starting a requested connection to a NetWare server, iSeries™ searches
for an authentication entry for that server. You can create authentication
entries to store the user name and password for each NDS tree to which users
require connections in two ways:
- Manually by using the Add NetWare Authentication Entry (ADDNTWAUTE) command
to create an authentication entry.
- Automatically by Enroll iSeries users on NetWare. When you create authentication
entries automatically, the name of the iSeries profile and NetWare object and the passwords
must match on iSeries and all the NetWare servers to which you want to
connect.
Note:
Although iSeries users can have multiple NetWare user
objects, they can have only one authentication entry for an iSeries profile per
NDS tree. Therefore, create the authentication entry to access the NetWare user
object that they use most often.
To create an authentication entry manually, do this:
- If you want iSeries to save password information with the authentication
entry to automatically start authenticated connections to NetWare,
first change the QRETSVRSEC system value.
- On an iSeries command line, type ADDNTWAUTE and press F4.
- In the Server type field, specify *NDS and
press Enter.
- To access NetWare with a different user profile than the one you are using
on iSeries, specify that user profile in the NetWare user field.
iSeries authentication entry commands shows the commands to add, change, delete, or display
authentication entries for an iSeries user profile.
