But it's not correct... It hasn't always been this way - it's correct that the
administrative account will be created unless you type in NONE at "User ID for
remote access" - and we always do... I don't need several thousands admin
accounts to administer! So I choose not to create the account... and even then,
I have been able to use the GUI (up til 5.1.5.6) without any problems - just by
using the client nodename and password!!!
To day this is history! Now you need to create an administrative account to use
the GUI!

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
