1.4.4 Setting up the prerequisite product

Associate a JP1 user registered in the manager host to an OS user on the agent host so that the JP1 user can access OS resources on the agent host.

To execute a job in JP1/AJS3, a JP1 user accesses OS resources, such as executable files, by using permissions of an OS user associated with the JP1 user, and then performs processing. Therefore, the JP1 user must be associated with an OS user on the host on which the job is to be executed. This association is called user mapping.

The following figure shows an overview of user mapping.

Figure 1‒3: User mapping

In this figure, a job executed by the JP1 user user01 on the JP1/AJS3 - View host is executed by the OS user MAN_OSuser on the manager host. If the job is transferred to the agent host, the job is executed by the OS user AGT_OSuser on the agent host.

Tip

If you performed the automatic setup processing when installing JP1/Base, the information shown below is automatically specified as initial settings. If you perform operations using the users in the initial settings, you do not need to set up JP1/Base.

No.	Setting item		Initial settings
1	Setting up an authentication server	Authentication server name	Local host name
2	Registering JP1 users in the authentication server	JP1 user name	`jp1admin`
3	Registering JP1 users in the authentication server	Password	`jp1admin`
4	Setting JP1 user operating permissions	JP1 resource group	`*` (asterisk)
5	Setting JP1 user operating permissions	Granted permissions	All administrator roles
6	Setting user mapping	JP1 user name to be mapped	`jp1admin`
7		OS user to be mapped	OS user entered in the window for entering the OS user name and password
8		Server host name	`*` (asterisk)

Note:: Items for Nos. 1 to 5 are JP1/Base settings required on the manager host. You do not specify these items on the agent host.

(1) Setting user mapping

Map a JP1 user to an OS user on the agent host so that the JP1 user can access the OS resources on the agent host.

Prerequisites

Log in to the agent host as an OS user with Administrator permissions.
OS users to be mapped to JP1 users must have permission to log on locally on the agent host. This permission can be set in, for example, Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools in Windows. Assign local logon permission in advance to the OS users to be mapped.

Procedure

From the Start menu of Windows, select Programs, JP1_Base, and then setup.

The JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box appears.
Click the User Mapping tab.

The User Mapping tab appears.
In the Password management, click the Set button.

The Password Manager dialog box appears.
Click the New User button.

The New User dialog box appears.
In User Name, enter the OS user name. In Password and Confirm Password, enter the password of the OS user.
Click the OK button.

A message dialog box indicating that the OS user has been registered appears.
In the message dialog box, click the OK button.

The message dialog box closes. In the Password Manager dialog box, the registered OS user name appears.
In the Password Manager dialog box, click the Exit button.

The Password Manager dialog box closes.
In the JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box, in JP1 user, click the Add button.

The JP1 User dialog box appears.
In JP1 user, enter the JP1 user name. In Server host, enter the name of the host from which job execution will be requested.

For JP1 user, specify the JP1 user name to be mapped to the OS user. For Server host, specify the host that accepts job execution requests.

Tip

Specify an asterisk (*) in Server host to accept job execution requests from all hosts.
Click the OK button.

The JP1 User dialog box closes, and then the OS User Mapping Details dialog box appears.

The OS users not mapped list displays the OS user you specified in step 5.
In the OS users not mapped list, select the OS user to be mapped to the JP1 user, and then click Add.

The selected OS user is added to the OS users to be mapped list.
Click the OK button.

The OS User Mapping Details dialog box closes.

In the JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box, in JP1 user, the JP user is added. When you select this JP1 user, the mapped OS user appears in List of OS users to be mapped.
Click the Apply button.

Result

The JP1 user and the OS user on the agent host are mapped.

Postrequisites

Install JP1/AJS3 - View on a JP1/AJS3 - View host, and install JP1/AJS3 - Web Console on the Web Console Server.

If you operate JP1/AJS3 - Agent with the default settings, you do not need to set up JP1/AJS3 - Agent.
