Adding users to and modifying permissions for FST security groups

  1. Set up the FST Security groups on your AIX server by taking the InfoPrint Printing System → Security → Groups → Show Group path. From the single-select list pop-up dialog, you should see these three groups: acl_admin, admin, and oper.
  2. Once you have verified the existence of these groups and other custom groups, you should make sure that users in the admin group can issue all the InfoPrint pd* commands. From SMIT, take the InfoPrint Printing System → Security → Access Control → Access Control for Operations → Show Access Control List path.
  3. Take the InfoPrint Printing System → Security → Groups → Add Users to a Group path. Then specify acl_admin for the Group Name field. Enter the name of the Windows administrative user you normally log in to the InfoPrint Manager for Windows server machine as for the User or Users to Add field. For the remainder of this procedure we will refer to this Windows administrative user as Administrator*.
    Note: The Administrator user must be followed by an asterisk (*) to account for the fully qualified host name. (For example, Administrator@ipwinservermachine.infoprint.com.)

    From the Add Users to a Group panel, specify admin for the Group Name field. Enter the name of the Windows administrative user you normally log in to the InfoPrint Manager for Windows server machine as for the User or Users to Add field. Note that you do not have to do this step for the oper group.

  4. Once completed, click OK to make sure the changes take effect.
