Configuring and Using Authentication

Like a bare-metal Oracle Solaris installation, any user who has an account can log in to a logical domain, even the control domain. The Oracle VM Server for SPARC software does not create any user accounts. See Installing the Logical Domains Manager in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide. For information about how to secure Oracle Solaris users, see Securing Users in Oracle Solaris 11 Security Guidelines.

To use the Logical Domains Manager to perform domain management activities on the control domain, a user must be granted special privileges to read and write configuration data. See Logical Domains Manager Profile Contents in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide and Using Rights Profiles and Roles in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide.
