General Information About XCP 1091

This section describes the general information about XCP 1091.

■ “What’s New in XCP 1091” on page 1

■ “Supported Firmware and Software” on page 4

■ “Updating to XCP 1091” on page 7

■ “Functionality Issues and Limitations” on page 8

What’s New in XCP 1091

In XCP version 1091, the following new feature is introduced:

■ The XCP 1091 firmware introduces the Active Directory and LDAP/SSL features.

See “Active Directory and LDAP/SSL” on page 2.

■ The following new XSCF commands are supported:

■ setad(8)

■ showad(8)

■ setldapssl(8)

■ showldapssl(8)

For detail, see the manual pages for each command.

Active Directory and LDAP/SSL

The XCP 1091 release introduces support for the Active Directory®1 and LDAP/SSL
features.

■ Active Directory is a distributed directory service from Microsoft

®1

Corporation.

Like an LDAP directory service, it is used to authenticate users.

■ LDAP/SSL offers enhanced security to LDAP users by way of Secure Socket

Layer (SSL) technology. It uses LDAP directory service to authenticate users.

Note – For security reasons, XSCF uses only LDAP over SSL protocol (LDAPS) to

communicate with an Active Directory server or an LDAP/SSL server.

Active Directory and LDAP/SSL each provides both authentication of user
credentials and authorization of the user access level to networked resources. They
use authentication to verify the identity of users before they can access system
resources, and to grant specific access privileges to users in order to control their
rights to access networked resources.

User privileges are either configured on XSCF or learned from a server based on
each user's group membership in a network domain. A user can belong to more than
one group. User domain is the authentication domain used to authenticate a user.
Active Directory authenticates users in the order in which the users' domains are
configured.

Once authenticated, user privileges can be determined in the following ways:

■ In the simplest case, user’s privileges are determined directly through the Active

Directory or LDAP/SSL configuration on the XSCF. There is a defaultrole
parameter for both Active Directory and LDAP/SSL. If this parameter is
configured or set, all users authenticated via Active Directory or LDAP/SSL are
assigned privileges set in this parameter. Setting up users in an Active Directory
or LDAP/SSL server requires only a password with no regard to group
membership.

■ If the defaultrole parameter is not configured or set, user privileges are learned

from the Active Directory or LDAP/SSL server based on the user’s group
membership. On XSCF, the group parameter must be configured with the
corresponding group name from the Active Directory or LDAP/SSL server. Each
group has privileges associated with it which are configured on the XSCF. A
user’s group membership is used to determine the user’s privileges once
authenticated.

Three types of groups can be configured: administrator, operator, and custom. To
configure an administrator or operator group, only group name is required.

1. Microsoft and Active Directory are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in
the United States and/or other countries.

2 SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1091 • April 2010

An administrator group has platadm, useradm, and auditadm privileges
associated with it. An operator group has platop, and auditop privileges
associated with it. To configure a custom group, both group name and privileges are
required. For each type of group, up to five groups can be configured. A user
assigned to more than one group receives the sum of all privileges associated with
those groups.

To support these new features, two new configuration screens (Active Directory
and LDAP over SSL) have been added to the Settings menu of the XSCF Web.
Remote users can log in and use the XCSF Web once they have been authenticated
by Active Directory or LDAP/SSL.

Configuring XSCF for Active Directory Support

The commands setad(8) and showad(8) let you set and view the Active Directory
configuration from the command line.

By default, Active Directory support is disabled. To enable Active Directory support,
use the following command:

XSCF> setad enable

To disable Active Directory support, use the following command:

XSCF> setad disable

To show if Active Directory support is enabled or disabled, enter:

XSCF> showad

Use the setad(8) command with its various parameters to configure Active
Directory. For example, you can use it to set up one primary and five alternate
Active Directory servers, assign group names and privileges, configure a particular
user domain, control logging of diagnostic messages, and more. User domain can be
configured explicitly through the setad userdomain command on XSCF, or
entered at login prompt using the form, user@domain.

See the setad(8) and showad(8) man pages, and the note about these commands in

TABLE 13.

General Information About XCP 1091 3

Configuring XSCF for LDAP/SSL Support

The commands setldapssl(8) and showldapssl(8) let you set and view
LDAP/SSL configuration from the command line. These commands do for
LDAP/SSL what the setad(8) and showad(8) commands do for Active Directory,
and support many of the same parameters.

For more information, see the setldapssl(8) and showldapssl(8) man pages.

New proxyuser System Account

To support Active Directory and LDAP/SSL, this release features a new system
account named proxyuser. Verify that no user account of that name already exists.
If one does, use the deleteuser(8) command to remove it, then reset XSCF before
using the Active Directory or LDAP/SSL feature.

Functionality Issues and Limitations

This section describes the known issues and limitations at the time of this release.

Limitations for SPARC64 VII Processors

Caution – You must complete the upgrades to the XCP firmware and to Solaris OS

before inserting SPARC 64 VII processors into the chassis.

Notes on Active Directory

■ While Active Directory is enabled, when you attempt to login to XSCF via the

telnet, you might fail to login due to timeout of the query to secondary alternated
server or later.

■ If the specified timeout is too brief for the configuration, the login process or

retrieval of user privilege settings could fail. In such case, specify larger value for
the timeout and then execute again.

Notes on LDAP/SSL

If the specified timeout is too brief for the configuration, the login process or
retrieval of user privilege settings could fail. In such case, specify larger value for the
timeout and try again.

Notes on NTP Server

■ We recommend the domain to use the XSCF Unit as NTP server. In this case, pay

attention to the following points:

■ XSCF must be connected to an external NTP server

■ When you connect one or more NTP servers in addition to XSCF, connect the

same NTP server as XSCF is using

For details on NTP server, contact a service engineer. For details on NTP settings,
refer to the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF
User’s Guide.

8 SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1091 • April 2010

Notes on the NTP Server Referring to the Local Clock

When the NTP server which XSCF refers to is referring to the server's own system
time (local clock), and when the address of "127.127.1.0" is set to that local clock,
time synchronization in XSCF might fail.

The address of the XSCF's own local clock is fixed to "127.127.1.0." On the other
hand, when the address of the local clock of the NTP server which XSCF refers to
is set to "127.127.1.0," the address of the clock source (refid) has the same value as
the address of the XSCF's own local clock. An NTP server like this is excluded
from the target of XSCF time synchronization.

You can execute the showntp -l command to refer to the address of the NTP
server's own clock source which is set in XSCF and the address of the XSCF's own
local clock.

XSCF> showntp -l
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================

192.168.1.2 LOCAL(0) 3 u 10 1024 377 0.000 0.000 0.000
*127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 5 l 28 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.008

Of the two NTP server outputs, the upper (192.168.1.2) indicates the NTP server
which is set by using the setntp(8) command. The refid is LOCAL(0), which
means that the local clock which has the address of "127.127.1.0" is set to the clock
source of this NTP server. On the other hand, the lower indicates the XSCF's own
local clock. The address of the XSCF's own local clock is fixed to "127.127.1.0."
Due to this, the NTP server (192.168.1.2) is excluded from the target of XSCF time
synchronization; which results in the XSCF synchronizes with its own local clock.

With any of the following measures to avoid the trouble, time can be correctly
synchronized with the NTP server which is set by using the setntp(8) command.

● Change the clock source that the NTP server being set in XSCF refers to

Use the showntp -l command and check the clock source of the NTP server which
is set in XSCF. An NTP server which indicates the refid of LOCAL(0) in the output is
referring to the local clock which has the address of "127.127.1.0," and you should
change it to refer to another clock source.

When you change the clock source of an NTP server, make sure in advance that it
has no impact on other NTP clients.

● Change the address of the local clock of the NTP server

Of the NTP server which XSCF refers to, change the address of the local clock to
"127.127.1.1," "127.127.1.2," or "127.127.1.3." Change /etc/inet/ntp.conf of
Solaris OS. To enable the change, restart of the NTP daemon is required.

When you change the address of the local clock of an NTP server, make sure in
advance that it has no impact on other NTP clients.

General Information About XCP 1091 9

● Change the stratum value of the NTP server

Of the NTP server which XSCF refers to, change the stratum value to "1." An NTP
server which has the stratum value of "1" becomes the most significant clock source
and has no refid. Therefore, there is no chance that it will have the same address as
the XSCF's own local clock.

When you change the stratum value of an NTP server, make sure in advance that it
has no impact on other NTP clients.

● Change the address of the XSCF's own local clock

By using the setntp -m localaddr=value command, change the address of the
XSCF's own local clock. In value, specify the least significant byte of the clock
address of the local clock 127.127.1.x for value. A numeric from 0 to 3 can be
specified. By specifying either from 1 to 3, the address of an NTP server which is
referring to the local clock does not correspond to the address of the XSCF internal
local clock anymore, and a server which is referring to the local clock can also be set
as the NTP server of XSCF.
