40331   User's can't self-register smartcards from Sun Ray (TM) terminals   25 Jan 2002

Status Issued

Description

Users with Sun Ray (TM) smartcards want to self-register their cards, and then do their remote login. However, the registration screen seems to require a local Unix login.

# Reading policy file: /etc/opt/SUNWut/policy/utpolicy

# Current Policy:

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -r card -s card -z pseudo

If users can't self-register, then there is no reasonable way of tracking who is using remote login to another site from one of our Sun Rays.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

By setting policy to :

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -r card -s card -z pseudo -p

you can eliminate the need for a local unix login. This allows for self-registration, without user authentication.

(For details, check the man page for utpolicy)
