2.4.2 Setting up the prerequisite product (for Windows)

(1) Setting up an authentication server (for Windows)

To log in to JP1/IM - Manager, you need to set up user authentication on the manager. You can set up a maximum of two authentication servers (primary and secondary).

If automatic setup processing was performed during installation of JP1/Base, the local host is set as the authentication server. If automatic setup processing was not performed, and you want to add and set up a host as an authentication server, or you want to set up a different host as an authentication server, perform the procedure below.

Prerequisites

The host name of the host to be set up as an authentication server must be resolvable by using the hosts file or DNS server.

Procedure

1. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_Base, and then JP1_Base Setup. The JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box appears.

2. In the Order of authentication server area, click the Add or Change button. The Authentication Server dialog box appears.

3. Enter the name of the host you want to set as the authentication server, and then click the OK button.

   In the Order of authentication server area, the host displayed at the top is the primary authentication server.

   

   If automatic setup processing was performed during installation of JP1/Base, the local host name has already been set as the authentication server name.

A JP1 user whose user name and password are jp1admin is automatically set during installation of JP1/Base. To add JP1 users, perform the procedure below.

Prerequisites

The primary authentication server must be specified.

Procedure

1. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, JP1_Base, and then JP1_Base Setup. The JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box appears.

2. In the Order of authentication server area, click the host name of the primary authentication server to activate the JP1 user area.

3. In the JP1 user area, click the Add button to open the JP1 User dialog box.

4. Enter the JP1 user name and password, and then click the OK button.

   Register the JP1 user name and password according to the following rules:

(3) Operation permissions for JP1 users (for Windows)

Each JP1 user is assigned an operating permission called a JP1 permission level.

This manual assumes that the JP1 permission level for the system administrator (jp1admin) is JP1_Console_Admin and JP1_CF_Admin.

JP1_Console_Admin permission is needed to operate a central console and central scope.

JP1_CF_Admin permission is needed to operate IM Configuration Management.

If automatic setup processing was performed during installation of JP1/Base, the JP1 permission level required for the system administrator has already been set. If automatic setup processing was not performed or you want to register a JP1 user other than the system administrator, see the description of the operation permissions for JP1 users in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
