Security

What privileges do you need on a managed host?

To add a host into a domain, you need to know the root user and password of the managed host or be an Administrator on Windows-based managed host. Once a host is added, a secure channel is setup between Management Server and the managed host using PKI/PKCS mechanisms. After the host is added to the domain, the password for the root user can be changed, and it does not affect the operation of Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager. Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager does not remember this password once the host has been configured.

Does xprtld allow for PAM, Active Directory, or LDAP-based authentication?

This is allowed for xprtld running on Management Server. For the managed host, Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager allows native OS authentication for end users.
