Hi I have been looking over the new ITSM Client for NetWare version 5.2.0.0... and I'm properly going to get an massive headache ;o)
I installed the client on a testserver, and tried to log in with the appropriate credentials belonging to the node it self - it failed?? I tried an administrator account - succes!! Then I turned to the documentation (typical everything has to crash and burn before using this ;o) ), and i quote: * If you plan to use a Web client, you must have an administrative user ID with system privilege, policy privilege, client access authority, or client owner authority. When a new node is registered, an administrative user ID is automatically created for the node. By default, this node has client owner authority. And now I'm a bit puzzled... Why???? I have a lot of servers on remote sites, and have never created the default user ID - there is no need to! the client have always been able to log in with the according nodename and password! Why change this? I like the fact, that my user accounts is minimized to a minimum but with this new client you will need to create the account every time - and worse, I have to create an account every time I want to upgrade? So anyone... Why have this been done? any good reasons? any suggestions to why? Regards Flemming
