Assigning Security Labels to Network Resources

With NMAS, you can assign NetWare volumes and any eDirectory attribute a security label. Users who log in to the network can access only those areas based upon their clearance and the resource's label.

For example, if you label a volume as Biometric & Token, an NMAS user must be assigned the Biometric and Token clearance and authenticate to the network using a Biometric and Token clearance in order to access the volume.

IMPORTANT:  Labels assigned to traditional NetWare volumes (non-NSS volumes) are not effective until the volume is dismounted and mounted again.

To assign a security clearance to a volume:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click a volume.

  2. Click Properties > click the Security tab.

  3. Select a security label from the Security Label drop-down list.

  4. Click OK to finish.

  5. If you are using traditional NetWare volumes (non-NSS volumes), you must dismount and mount the volume again for the labels to take effect.

To assign a security clearance to eDirectory attributes:

  1. In ConsoleOne, click the Security Container > double-click the Security Policy object > click Directory Attribute Labels.

  2. Click the label next to the directory attribute.

  3. Click the down-arrow, then select a new label from the drop-down list.

  4. After making all necessary changes, click Apply or OK to save the changes.
