To Enable Domain Administration from a Client

The root role does this during initial configuration of the system, as described in "Configuring a NIS or NIS+ Client" in Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

1. Assume the System Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

2. Follow the procedures in "Connecting to the Name Server".

3. NIS+ ONLY: For root to administer NIS+ from a NIS+ client, go to the NIS+ client and add the NIS+ client to the admin group by double-clicking the Add to NIS+ Administrative Group action and filling in the fields.

   For example, the following two invocations of the Add to NIS+ Administrative Group action enable root to administer the NIS+ domain from the good and good1 computers in the security.example.com domain.

   Group Name: admin Principal Name: good.security.example.com.

   Group Name: admin Principal Name: good1.security.example.com.
