Re: NetWare Client 5.2 and Webinterface

        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.

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?
