Administrator's Guide

Chapter 11. Managing Clients

Administrators can manage client sessions. These operations include such tasks as registering clients, displaying client session information, controlling access to the server, defining client options from the server, and managing client restartable restore sessions. See the following sections:

Tasks:
"Ensuring Client/Server Password Authentication"
"Managing Client Nodes"
"Managing Client Sessions"
"Controlling Administrator Access to the Server"
"Disabling or Enabling Access to the Server"

In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the ADSM command line interface. For information about the ADSM commands, see ADSM Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of an ADSM administrative client.

All of the ADSM commands can be performed from the administrative client web interface. A Version 3 administrative client GUI is also available for the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems. For more information about using the administrative interfaces, see ADSM Quick Start. You can find detailed help for using the graphical user interfaces in the online help facilities.
