Click the Exhibit button to begin. When you open Remote Manager and authenticate to your DA1 server, only a minimal set of options are displayed; as shown in the exhibit. Why is this happening?

The correct answer is F. You've authenticated as a user who doesn't have the Supervisor right to the DA1 server object. Novell OES Remote Manager restricts the displayed management options to a minimal set when the authenticated user lacks the Supervisor right to the NetWare Server object in eDirectory.

Why each option

Novell OES Remote Manager restricts the displayed management options to a minimal set when the authenticated user lacks the Supervisor right to the NetWare Server object in eDirectory.

ADA1 has abended.

An abended server would be unresponsive and unable to serve the Remote Manager interface at all, not display a reduced one.

BYou need to reload PORTAL.NLM.

PORTAL.NLM supports the iManager portal framework and does not control which options Remote Manager displays.

CYou need to reload HTTPSTK.NLM.

HTTPSTK.NLM provides the HTTPS transport layer; if it were faulty, Remote Manager would be entirely unreachable rather than partially functional.

DYou're using an outdated browser.

An outdated browser may cause display rendering issues but does not cause Remote Manager to suppress administrative menu options.

EYou need to restart the web server.

Restarting the web server would make Remote Manager temporarily unavailable but would not change the scope of options displayed after reconnection.

FYou've authenticated as a user who doesn't have the Supervisor right to the DA1 server object.Correct

Remote Manager evaluates the authenticated user's eDirectory rights to the Server object to determine which management options to expose. A user without the Supervisor right to the Server object receives a intentionally limited interface as a security measure, preventing unauthorized administrative actions. Assigning the Supervisor right to the user's trustee entry on the DA1 Server object in eDirectory will restore the full management interface.
