Client Verification Points

Verify the Credential for the Windows Client

For Windows clients, follow the same procedures as those listed in Client Verification Points.

Verify the Credential for the UNIX Client

To check that the credential for the client is indeed for the correct client and comes from the correct domain, run bpnbat -whoami. For example:

   bpnbat -whoami -cf \
   "/usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/unix_client.min.com"
   Name: unix_client.min.com
   Domain: NBU_Machines@win_master.min.com
   Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@win_master.min.com/O=vx
   Expiry Date: Nov  6 21:16:01 2004 GMT
   Authentication method: VERITAS Private Security
   Operation completed successfully.

Verify that the VxSS Authentication Client Libraries are Installed

Run bpnbat -login on the client to verify that the VxSS authentication client libraries are installed.

   bpnbat -login
   Authentication Broker: unix_media.min.com
   Authentication port[ Enter = default]:
   Authentication type (NIS, NIS+, NT, vx, UNIXpwd): NIS
   Domain: min.com
   Name: Smith
   Password:
   You do not currently trust the server: unix_media.min.com, do you wish to tr
   ust it? (y/n):
   y
   Operation completed successfully.

Verify the UNIX Authentication Broker

Make sure that the UNIX Authentication broker either has mutual trust with the main Windows Authentication broker, or is using the Windows broker as its root broker. See the VERITAS Security Services Installation Guide on the VxSS installation CD for more information regarding this scenario.
