Use this command to require a system or policy
administrator
to register client nodes (closed registration) or to permit each user
to register his own workstation as a client node with the server (open
registration).
With
closed registration,
an administrator
defines the following:
- The node name and password for each
workstation
- The policy domain to which the client node belongs
- Whether the user can choose to compress files before sending them
to server storage
- Whether the user can delete backup or archive
files from server
storage
With
open registration, when
a user accesses
the server from an unregistered client node, the server prompts the
user for a node name, password, and contact information, and registers
the workstation. The server sets the following defaults:
- Each
client node is assigned to the policy domain named STANDARD
- Each
user defines whether data compression is used before files
are sent to server storage
- Each user is allowed to delete
archived files from server storage.
The user cannot delete backup files
- The authentication method
is based on the DEFAULTAUTHENTICATION server
setting.
- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is required for registering
client nodes that authenticate with an LDAP directory server.
- The
administrator can reassign domains or change node attributes
using the UPDATE NODE command
Existing
registered client nodes are not affected by changes
in the registration process.
Use the QUERY STATUS command
to display the status of registration. At installation, this value
is set to CLOSED.
Privilege class
To
issue this command, you
must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted
policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client node belongs.
