It takes three steps to configure user level security. First, configure the security level of FISC CDM as “User Level Security”. Second, create a user database. Third, assign user access rights to each CDROM share. Details are described below. After you complete these steps, unauthorized users will be prohibited from accessing FISC CDM.

Configure as User Level Security

On the Administration page, click Configuration to enter the Configuration Menu. There are four protocols supporting user level

security. They are CIFS/SMB, NCP, NFS and HTTP. All of them except NFS support both share and user level security. NFS supports user level security only.

To enable user level security of CIFS/SMB:

Click the Security: list box under CIFS/SMB on the Configuration Menu. You can see two items after clicking on the list box: Share Level and User Level. Select User Level. Click the Update button to confirm the change.

Note:

The FISC CDM User’s Manual

You should have at least one PDC (Primary Domain Controller) server on your LAN to validate the user level security of CIFS/SMB. PDC servers maintain user security information. FISC CDM needs a PDC server to authenticate the username and password provided by users.

Single Domain:

If you would like to use one PDC server for user authentication, please fill the Workgroup/Domain Name field on the Server Setting Menu with the domain name of the PDC server.

Although FISC CDM has to be in the same domain of the PDC server, this is not the case with client PCs. You can access FISC CDM from any client PC that resides in a different domain.

More Domains:

If there are several PDC servers that maintain user security information, you have to specify these PDC servers during FISC CDM configuration.

Suppose there are 3 PDC servers on your LAN – PDC1, PDC2, and PDC3. Please put the first PDC server, PDC1, in the Workgroup/Domain Name field on the Server Setting Menu as above. As for other PDC servers, please go to Configuration Menu. Click More Domains under CIFS/SMB. You will see More

Configuration and Management

Domains menu. Please put PDC2 in the Domain name 1: field and PDC3 in Domain name 2:.

Suppose there are three users – user A, user B and user C. User A has logged on to PDC1, user B to PDC2, user C to PDC3.

Since user A is in PDC1’s domain, FISC CDM will ask PDC1 whether user A is legal when user A tries to access any CD share in FISC CDM. If user A is legal, then FISC CDM will begin to check its internal user database to see if user A is allowed to read the CD share.

The FISC CDM User’s Manual

When user B tries to access any CD share in FISC CDM, FISC CDM will ask PDC2 for authentication because user B is in P DC2’s domain. If user C tries to access, FISC CDM will ask PDC3.

To get more information about how to create FISC CDM internal user database, and how to grant access rights to users, please refer to these sections: Create User Database and Assign User Access Rights.

To enable user level security of NCP

Click the Security: list box under NCP on the Configuration Menu. Select Users of Bindery Server. Please also specify the bindery server by filling in the Bindery Server: field. Click the Update button to confirm the change.

Note:

FISC CDM only supports NetWare bindery so far. You should have a bindery server on your LAN to validate the user level security of NCP.

If a user tries to access any CD share in FISC CDM, FISC CDM will prompt a dialog box for username and password. Then FISC CDM will ask the bindery server whether the user is legal. If the bindery server approves and the user is marked READ in the permission list, the user will be able to access the CD share.

Configuration and Management

To enable user level security of HTTP

Click the Security: list box under HTTP on the Configuration Menu. Select Users of SMB primary domain to enable the user level security of HTTP. Click the Update button to confirm the change.

The user level security of HTTP is implemented just a s the single domain case of SMB. It also requires one PDC server on your LAN. They even share the same internal user database. The difference is that FISC CDM will not check users’ domains when users try to access via Internet browsers.

Basic Concepts and Terminology

1. To start mirroring, simply enable any CD drive (select

Physical Share under Share Control Menu) to b e the "Mirror Drive". Once you put a CD into that drive, the Mirror operation will be initiated as per the configuration in the CD Mirror Function menu. Please refer to the “Configure CD Mirror Options” subsection later in this section for more details of the configuration.

2. The CD mirror images are organized as “slots”. Each hard

drive is able to host up to 80 slots, or CD images. You may wish to think of the hard drive as a large CD changer with 80 slots. Creating a CD image on a hard drive is just like putting a CD into a changer slot.

3. You can host up to 480 CD images if the CD server is

connected with 6 hard drives, or 640 images with 8 hard drives. There is no limitation on the size of hard drive. The maximum size per CD image is 4GB.

4. Every time you create a CD image, a corresponding

Physical Share will automatically be created to all the protocols that have been enabled. The default share – “Root” (or any of the 7 customizable virtual shares) can host up to 63 shares.

Adding & Initializing Hard Drive For CD Mirroring

To install hard drives, simply connect them with the controller’s IDE channels starting from channel #1 master & slave then #2 master & slave etc. Up to 6 drives on three channels.

Note: We suggest using hard drive of the same brand. If you install a single drive, please configure it as master and do not connect any other device on the same channel.

Once installed, all the hard drives will be initialized (erased) upon boot-up.

Note: The CD server WILL NOT check if the hard drive has data on it.

Configuration and Management

Configure CD Mirror Options

Please click Share Control in the left frame of the Administration Page. On the page, select a real CD-ROM drive in the list box below “Please select a Physical Share device :”. Then click the Configure button to enter the Physical Control Menu. If you select

a real CD drive, you should see a Physical Control Menu as below. Scroll the page down until you see CD Mirror Function.

The FISC CDM User’s Manual

The CD Mirror Function submenu contains the following items:

1. Mirror CD

2. Target Name

3. Launch Ta rget

4. Launch Schedule

5. Mirror Option

Each item is described below.

Mirror CD: Check this to enable this drive as a Mirror Drive

Target Name: You can specify how to name the created CD/DVD

image here. “Default Name” means a name will be generated automatically as CDxxxx. “Volume Name” means the created CD/DVD image has the same name as the volume name of the source CD/DVD.

Launch Target: Select one of the three options to choose where to put the image:

! Auto & Smart Mode: The CD server will choose an

available hard drive and slot automatically, and checks if there is a duplicate CD image existing on the any of the hard drives. If a duplicated image is found, it will simply bypass mirroring the CD.

! Auto & Force Mode: The CD server will choose the

available hard drive and slot automatically, and will NOT check if there is a pre-existing duplicate CD image.

! Manual Mode: You can select the hard drive and slot

number manually. The duplicate CD check will not be performed.

Launch Schedule: Select one of the two op tions to determi ne when to launch the mirror operation:

! As Soon A s Possible: The Mirror job will start as soon as

the CD is inserted into the CD drive.

! Schedule M irror Date: Start mirror job at the given date

and time.

Mirror Option: Check any of the options for more convenient scheduling and control:

Configuration and Management

! Prioritized network access: Check this to set mirroring

jobs to a LOWER priority than network CD access. This option will speed up network access and is useful if the CD server is located in a busy CD networking environment.

! Lock CD door during mirror: If enabled, the door of

Mirror Drive cannot be opened by pushing the eject button on the CD drive during the mirroring operation.

! Eject CD when mirror is completed: CD server will eject

CD when the mirror job is finished. This option is valid for both successful or failed mirror operations.

Note: You need to check the event-log (or under the Share Name in the CD List) to make sure that the mirroring job has been successful.

How to Create CD images

Here are the steps to create a CD image.

1. Choose the CD drive as the Mirror Drive by enabling the

Mirror CD check box on its Physical Share Menu (under Share Control Menu).

2. Configure the options, as you required. As a normal default

setup, you might choose Auto & Smart Mode and check Eject CD when mirror is completed.

3. Click the Update button.

4. Put the target CD into the Mirror Drive. The mirror function

starts automatically.

5. Check if the mirror images are created successfully by either

clicking on the Share Name in the CD-ROM List (the additional images will be displayed as additional hard d r ive slots) or reading the Run-Time Event Log on the Statistics menu.

This section outlines the basic configuration settings for running FISC CDM in the Novell NetWare environment. It also describes how to access CD-ROM drives managed by FISC CDM from various NetWare clients and how to setup the access restrictions.

Configuration for NetWare

FISC CDM emulates itself as a Novell NetWare 3.x bindery server.

In order to explore the name and resources of the FISC CDM to every NetWare client, a Novell NetWare 3.x/4.x server is required in the same network where the FISC CDM is located.

NetWare Server Name

The default NetWare server name of the FISC CDM is ANWXXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is the last 8 dig its of the FISC CDM serial number. This name can easily be changed via the FISC CDM HTML administration page under “Server Setting – NetWare server name” using any Internet browser (refer to Chapter 3 — Server Setting Menu).

NCP Protocol

Be sure to enable NCP protocol. The default values of this option is set to “enable”; and this option can be easily found/changed in the HTML administration page under “Configuration” (refer to Chapter 3 — Configuration).

Installing As a Bindery Server

Bindery server characteristics are an advantage to using the FISC CDM. No specific installation is required prior to accessing the FISC CDM. Please see information later in this section regarding security management in the NetWare bindery mode.

Using FISC CDM on Client Workstations

Volume / Directory Structure for NetWare

The FISC CDM will be available to your system as a NetWare file server. Just like any other NetWare file server, FISC CDM has it own volume and directory (folder) structure where files are stored.

The “SYS:” is the only available volume of the FISC CDM when it configures itself as a NetWare bindery server. The content contained be neath “SYS:” depe nds on the user na me tha t you use to access the FISC CDM. The following examples will illustrate ho w to use different user names to access the FISC CDM:

Example #1:

If you are using “ROOT” (default share name of virtual share device) as the user name for FISC CDM to authenticate, the directory structure should look as follows:

In this case, you are able to access any CD titles managed by the FISC CDM from your NetWare client if the “ROOT” user has been successfully authenticated.

Example #2:

If you are using “CD1” (the default share name of physical share device #1) as the user name for the FISC CDM to authenticate, the directory structure should look as follows:

In this case, you are authorized to access directories/files located beneath CD1 (CD title #1) from your NetWare client if “CD1” user has been successfully authenticated.

Security Management for NetWare

The way to ma nage se curit y fo r NetW are user depe nds on using t he mode NetWare Bindery Mode without Authentication.

In this mode, user authentication is not required to access the FISC CDM. This means that it is not necessary for the FISC CDM to logon to any authentication server (NetWare 3.x) to authenticate the user and read which group he belongs to. To restrict access to the FISC CDM from NetWare clients, a set of built-in users is already provided in the FISC CDM. For NetWare clients, the user name and password required for accessing the FISC CDM are naturally coming with the share name and share password of shared devices. In short, “Share name” of share device = “User name” for accessing this share device and “Share password” of share device = “User password” for accessing this share device
