It's always been this way. When you register a node, it creates an
administrative user account for the node:
"When a new node is registered, an administrative user ID is automatically created
for the node. By default, this node has client owner authority."
So on the GUI, you can connect to the TSM server as the node and the node's
TSM password.
I'm not sure why you were not able to connect as that node. Do a "q admin" and
see if that node is listed. See if that admin account is locked. Perhaps reset that
admin password.
Really, it looks like nothing should have changed.

Subject: NetWare Client 5.2 and Webinterface
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
