Sun OpenDS Standard Edition provides a flexible Privilege Subsystem that allows you to configure root users, Global Administrators, and administrators for your server. You can configure multiple root users and assign different root privileges to each administrator. For administrative domains, you can also configure multiple Global Administrators to manage administrative domains in your network or in a replicated environment.
The topics in this section describe the management of multiple root users and the privilege subsystem. The topics also provide instructions on how to configure and maintain the various user accounts required to administer your server securely.
Before you start with the procedures outlined here, determine the following guidelines for your server:
Number of root users, their privileges, and resource limits if any
Number of administrators, their privileges, and resource limits if any
Guidelines for user accounts on your system
Password policies for the server and for specific groups of users
