Enabling Logins When Logins Are Disabled

As a security measure, your administrator can configure your site so that all logins are disabled after a reboot. If a reboot has occurred and you are not authorized to enable logins, the dialog box shown in Figure 2-10 appears; you must notify your Trusted Solaris administrator to help you log in. If you are authorized to enable logins, the dialog box shown in Figure 2-11 appears.

To Enable Logins After a Reboot

1. Select the appropriate Enable logins button (see Figure 2-11):

      You should first check your site's security policy to ensure that enabling logins does not cause a security breach.

      Do this if you are not ready to enable logins.

2. Select the appropriate Login button:

   1. Click the Yes button to log in.

   2. Click the No button to enable logins without logging in.

3. Click OK to enable the logins as specified or click Cancel to leave logins in their current state.

   Both options dismiss the dialog box and reset logins as specified.
