Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

How to Assume a Role

An administrative role configures the workstation, however, a role cannot log in. Users log in, and assume one or more of their assigned roles. The role root has been pre-assigned to the user install.

To Assume a Role
  1. Log in to the workstation as a user, such as install.

  2. Right click on the middle of the Front Panel.

  3. Assume a role from the roles displayed on the TP (Trusted Path) menu.

    After initial installation from a CD-ROM, only the root role will be displayed on the TP menu, since no other roles have been created.

    1. Choose Assume rolename Role from the menu.

    2. At the password prompt, enter the password for the role.

      The password for the root role is the password that the install team entered for root when prompted during the installation program.

  4. Return to the procedure and chapter you are working from.
