How to Enable Remote Administrative Access to an Immutable Zone by Using RAD

Perform this task to enable access to the immutable zone by using the Remote Access Daemon (RAD). The rad:remote SMF service is enabled to perform TPD authentication over RAD connections.

  1. Assume the root role.
  2. Modify the rad:remote SMF service to run in the TPD.
    # svccfg -s rad:remote
    svc:/system/rad:remote> setprop method_context/trusted_path = true
    svc:/system/rad:remote> refresh
    svc:/system/rad:remote> exit
  3. Verify that the trusted_path attribute is set for the rad:remote service.
    # svcprop -p method_context/trusted_path rad:remote
    true
  4. Restart the remote RAD service.
    # svcadm restart rad:remote
  5. Enable one or more administrators to access the TPD over a RAD connection.
    $ usermod -K tpd=yes username

    These administrators can now log in to the immutable zone remotely over RAD.
