Users log in to the Cluster Management Console and the CLI using existing operating system user accounts. It is not necessary to create a new, separate set of accounts for the Cluster Management Console. The operating system user accounts must be valid on the system where the management server is installed.
If you install the management server on a system that is a member of an NT, ActiveDirectory, NIS, or NIS+ domain, you can also use domain accounts. The management server can validate domain user accounts that are configured for any domain that the management server host system recognizes.
The management server uses a Symantec Product Authentication Service authentication broker to authenticate users. The authentication broker must be installed on the same system as the management server.
The authentication broker requires a root broker. You must install and configure a root broker somewhere in the enterprise and then configure the authentication broker. If you do not currently have a root broker, you may install and configure one on the management server host system.
See Symantec Product Authentication Service for information about root brokers and authentication brokers.
