Use this command to set the default password authentication method for nodes and administrators that are the result of REGISTER NODE or REGISTER ADMIN commands.
If you specify LDAP,
you establish the default value for
authenticating to an external directory for any new REGISTER
NODE or REGISTER ADMIN commands. This
command makes it easier to register nodes or administrators when you
use an LDAP directory server.
Tip: The default authentication
setting can be overwritten when the authentication method is specified
in a REGISTER NODE or REGISTER ADMIN command.
Privilege class
To issue this command you must have system privilege.
Parameters
- LOcal
- Specifies that any future REGISTER NODE or REGISTER ADMIN commands that you issue use LOCAL as the default authentication parameter value. Locally-authenticated passwords are those stored on the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server. The passwords authenticated locally are not case sensitive.
- LDap
- Specifies that any future REGISTER NODE or REGISTER ADMIN commands that you issue use LDAP as the default authentication parameter value. LDAP-authenticated passwords are those stored on an LDAP directory server and are case sensitive.
