NMAS Management Tasks

Novell^® Modular Authentication Services (NMAS^TM) is designed to help you protect information on your network. NMAS brings together additional methods of authentication to Novell eDirectory^TM to help ensure that the people accessing your network resources are who they say they are. Also, you can grant or restrict access to network resources based on how a user authenticates to eDirectory.

To use the NMAS login methods, you will need the following:

NMAS software installed on a server (requires administrator rights to the root of the eDirectory tree)

NMAS client software installed on each workstation that you want to use the NMAS login methods

The latest version of the Novell Client^TM software

The latest version of ConsoleOne^®

For more information, see the NMAS Administration Guide.
