Configure Security for Cache Server Nodes

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition for .NET.

Security for cache nodes can be configured through following steps:

Using NCache Web Manager

  • Launch NCache Web Manager by browsing to http://localhost:8251 (Windows) or <server-ip>:8251 (Windows + Linux).

  • In the right corner, click on Settings Icon to open Manager Settings.

  • From the left bar, click on Node Level Security.

  • Specify the cache server node IP for which you want to configure security. Click Verify.

Node Level Security NCache

  • Once the IP is verified, expand the Domain Users list which will display all users from the domain you entered previously. Select the respective users from Domain Users by clicking on > button.

  • Check the box Enable Security.

Enable NCache Node Security

Note

Click on Change Security Options to manage security for Web Manager. Follow the steps mentioned in Configure Security for Web Manager to configure web manager security.

  • Click on Apply.

  • This adds security for the server node, which is also saved in security.ncconf under the <administrators> tag.

Using PowerShell

Add-NodeSecurity cmdlet enables the user to configure node level security for the cache

Note
  • To enable security for the first time, there must be at least one user in the node's admin list.
  • The provided admin credentials must either be local admin or node admin credentials.

The following command enables security on 20.200.20.38 with david_jones as administrator.

Add-NodeSecurity -EnableSecurity -AdminUserID david_jones -AdminPassword mypassword -DomainController yourdomain.org -DomainControllerPort 389 -NodeName 20.200.20.38

If you want to add more users, use the following command after step 1. The following command adds the user john_smith to the secured users list of the node 20.200.20.38

Add-NodeSecurity -AddUser -AdminUserID david_jones -AdminPassword mypassword -NewUser john_smith -NewUserPassword userpassword -NewUserDN "CN=John Smith,OU=admin,DC=yourdomain,DC=org " -DomainController yourdomain.org -DomainControllerPort 389 -NodeName 20.200.20.38
