Limitations When Crossing Servers

Some security restrictions apply when a user tries to communicate across server contexts.

In the current Sun Management Center environment, you can access information from another server with a few limitations:

• If you try to access a remote server context, the server give you general user access. Thus, you can access data but cannot modify or use the objects within the different server. You are restricted to viewing only the remote server objects.

• You can view data in another context as a general user, but you cannot perform control actions, such as setting alarm thresholds and other similar functions.

• Edit functions work differently in a remote server. For example, you can copy and paste between contexts. You cannot cut and paste between contexts.

In the console, the fact that you are accessing a different server context might not be obvious. To identify whether you are accessing a different server, check the server's IP port number or address in the Info tab of the Details window.
