How to Create a New User Account With RBAC Authorization

To provide a new non-root user account root access to the entire cluster through SunPlex Manager, create the account on all nodes of the cluster.

If you assign RBAC authorization to a non-root user account, that user account can perform a set of administrative actions usually performed only by root.

1. Become superuser on any node of the cluster.

2. Create the new user account.

   # useradd -d dir -A solaris.cluster.admin login

   -d dir

   Specifies the home directory of the new user

   -A solaris.cluster.admin

   Assigns the solaris.cluster.admin authorization to the new user account

   login

   Name of the new user account (username)

   ---

   Note –

   The user name must be unique and must not already exist either on the local machine or in the network name service.

   ---

   See the useradd(1M) man page for more information about creating user accounts.

3. Set the password on each node of the cluster.

   # passwd login

   ---

   Note –

   The password for this account must be the same on all nodes of the cluster.

4. If you are logged in to SunPlex Manager as the root user, exit the browser entirely, then restart it.

5. Connect to one node of the cluster.

6. Enter the new login (username) and password to access SunPlex Manager.
