5.10.9 Central User Management
With SW V2.1, a new function called ‘Central User Management’ has been
introduced. It allows central administration of the console users and their
privileges in a network of consoles. Configuration of users and privileges is
called ‘user configuration’ below.
For central user management, an additional central user management server,
i.e. a Windows 2000 or XP computer, is required within the network; then,
each console asks the central user management server for the required user
information.
Modifications of the user configuration can be done either on one of the
consoles, or on the central user management server, or on both in parallel.
Modifications are visible immediately on all consoles within the network or
within the same multicast group. New user settings (such as a password) and
privileges will be effective when this user logs in the next time.
For configuration information, please refer to chapter 6.5.35.
5.10.9.1 Principles
The ‘user’ extension that provides the user configuration parameters runs
on the central user management server as well as on each system core. The
central user extension on the server provides all parameters, as they are used
by all consoles in the network. The local user extensions on each core serve
as backup solution only in case the central server should fail. These are con-
figured (in the user.xml file) to provide at least the Admin and Default
user configurations.
The configuration tool always connects to the local user extension. So, for a
remote user configuration of the users hosted by the central user extensions,
the administrator has to select the system running the central user extensions
after having started the Configuration Tool.
