Configuring Security for Cache Management

After you have created cache, security for management operations can be configured in following ways:

Using NCache Manager

• In NCache Manager, go to Security menu option and select Security Credentials option.

  

• Security Credentials dialog will open.

  

• Provide the valid credentials for your active directory like name of Domain Controller, Port (optional), User Name and Password.

  

• Click on the Verify Credentials button. It will prompt success or failure messages. If provided security credentials are correct then it will display the success message like this:

  

• Click OK.

• Now go to NCache Manager ->Security menu option again and select Configure Security option.

  

• Security Configuration Wizard will open. Specify the server IP address for which you want to configure the security and click Next.

  

• Security Configurations Wizard will open.

• Expand the Available Domain Users. It will list down all of the active directory users.

  

• Select users from the users list and then add the required users using ‘>’ button. These users will be allowed to manage the caches.

  

• Check the Enable Security checkbox to enable the security.

  

• Click Finish.

Using Windows PowerShell

Add-NodeSecurity cmdlet configures server node level security so that administrative and managerial tasks can be performed.

The following command adds administrator john_smith in security.ncconf on 20.200.21.95 node and it will be allowed to add management operations.

Add-NodeSecurity -EnableSecurity -NodeName 20.200.21.95 -AdminUserID john_smith -AdminPassword yourpassword
