10.3 Changing Peer Cluster Credentials

You can change the credentials that are used by a one peer cluster to connect to another peer cluster. You might need to do this if the administrator username or password changes for any clusters in the business continuity cluster. To do this, you change the username and password for the administrative user who the selected cluster uses to connect to another selected peer cluster.

IMPORTANT:Make sure the new administrator username meets the requirements specified in Section 4.3, Configuring a BCC Administrator User and Group.

  1. Start your Internet browser and enter the URL for iManager.

    The URL is http://server_ip_address/nps/iManager.html. Replace server_ip_address with the IP address or DNS name of the Linux server that has iManager and the Identity Manager preconfigured templates for iManager installed.

    IMPORTANT:In order to add or change peer cluster credentials, you must access iManager on a server that is in the same eDirectory tree as the cluster you are adding or changing peer credentials for.

  2. Specify your username and password, specify the tree where you want to log in, then click Login.

  3. In Roles and Tasks, click Clusters > BCC Manager, then click the Management link.

  4. Browse and select the Cluster object of the cluster.

  5. Click Connections and select a peer cluster.

  6. Edit the administrator username and password that the selected cluster will use to connect to the selected peer cluster, then click OK.

    When specifying a username, you do not need to include the Novell eDirectory context for the user name.

    NOTE:If the business continuity cluster has clusters in multiple eDirectory trees, and you specify a username and password that is used by all peer clusters (that is, credentials for an administrator user who all peer clusters have in common), each eDirectory tree in the business continuity cluster must have the same username and password.
