4.3 Enabling the LUMUsers Group for Linux User Management (LUM)

IMPORTANT:LUM-enabling users is an important part of these getting-started lab exercises. However, in a production environment you should avoid LUM-enabling users until you fully understand the potential security issues. For more information, see SSH Services on OES 11 SP2 in the OES 11 SP2: Planning and Implementation Guide.

If you want eDirectory users to access PAM-enabled services such as login or sshd (SSH), on an OES server, you must LUM-enable the users.

  1. In the Roles and Tasks list, click Linux User Management > Enable Groups for Linux.

  2. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Group Name field.

  3. Click LUMUsers > OK.

  4. Make sure the Linux-Enable All Users in These Groups option is selected, then click Next twice.

  5. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Unux Workstation Name field.

  6. Click the up-arrow Up arrow Icon.

  7. Click the down-arrow Down Arrow icon next to SERVERS.

  8. Click the UNIX Workstation object for the OES 11 SP2 getting-started lab server, then click OK.

    IMPORTANT:Make sure you select the UNIX Workstation object for the getting-started lab server in COMPANY > LAB > SERVERS and not the one for the VM host server that is in COMPANY.

  9. Click the Browse icon Browse icon next to the Unix Config Object field.

  10. Click the up-arrow Up arrow Icon. twice

  11. Click the UNIX Config object.

  12. Click Next > Finish > OK.

    LUM-enabled access to OES servers is enabled on an individual server basis. If you install additional OES 11 SP2 servers that require LUM access, they must also be added to a LUM-enabled group.

    The LUMUsers group and its users are now recognized by the OES 11 SP2 server as local users.

  13. Do not close iManager. Continue with the next section, Allowing SSH Access.
