Authenticating ClusterCATS Administrators  
 
 

ClusterCATS security is provided through an authentication facility you can enable to keep unauthorized users from accessing a cluster and its content. When authentication is enabled for a specific cluster, only authorized users will be able to add that cluster to their ClusterCATS Explorer view.

Authentication can be turned on or off based on your specific security needs. By default, authentication is disabled. It can be enabled through the ClusterCATS Explorer user interface.

ClusterCATS authentication can take one of the following three forms:

  • No Authentication
  • Windows NT domain Authentication (must have an NT server in the cluster)
  • Local-User Authentication

You should select one of these modes based on your need to restrict access to the content stored on the Web servers that are part of your clusters.

When authentication is disabled on a specific cluster, any ClusterCATS Explorer can add that cluster to their Cluster Manager view. Once the cluster is added, administrators have unrestricted access to the content in that cluster.
