Bo,

This is a new "feechur" of ADSM Server version 3.1.2.1 and higher.  When
you register a node, you will need to include the
USERID=NODE parameter if you do not wish to have this ID created.  As for
the "client owner" privilege class, I cut the following from the output of
'help grant authority' command:

  Owner
                    Specifies that you want to grant client owner authority
                    to a user with the node privilege class. A user with
                    client owner authority can access a web backup-archive
                    client through the web client interface and also access
                    their data from another client using the -NODENAME
                    parameter.

Hope this helps,

Subject:  Client Owner Admin Id





We have recently upgraded to ADSM 3.1.2.1 (on AIX 4.2), and now every time
I define a new node, ADSM creates a new administrative userid with "client
owner" privilege -- "for OWNER access to node XXXXX".  Can't find anything
in the documentation about this privilege class.  Can anyone tell me its
purpose?...
