Authentication for Migration Operations

Since the migration operation executes on two machines, a user must be authenticated on both the source and target host. In particular, the user must have the solaris.ldoms.write authorization on both machines.

The ldm command line interface for migration allows the user to specify an optional alternate user name for authentication on the target host. If this is not specified, the user name of the user executing the migration command is used. In both cases, the user is prompted for a password for the target machine.
