Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Create Roles on the NIS Master Server

The roles admin, secadmin, and oper must be created in the new NIS domain using Administrative Roles in the Solaris Management Console.

Prerequisite: The home directory server has been created and the home directories are automounting.

  1. Log in to the NIS master server as the user install and assume the root role.

  2. Follow the steps in "How to Create Administrative Roles".


    Note -

    If, after reboot, SMC complains that the server is not running, re-check your edits from "To Edit Name Service Toolbox Definitions". Look for misplaced periods, extra characters, and leftover < or > brackets.
