SET REGISTRATION (Set open or closed registration)
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.
