An administrative domain is a secure service provider that manages interconnected networks, routers, and hosts with a single authority. It can be configured to work with other domains and has a loose or strict hierarchy. GLUE information model is used to describe it. Optional steps can be taken to maximize optimization for a particular entity. Configuring domain settings involves adjusting multiple settings, including media retention values and authentication information.
An administrative domain is a type of service provider that acts as a security repository, allowing simple authentication and authorization of clients with predetermined credentials. Part of computer network security, the administrative domain consists of a group of interconnected networks, routers, and hosts with a single authority that manages everything. This type of domain and its components are set up to work together with other domains of the same type and are configured to allow some degree of access, although most maintain some level of security compared to other domains. The organization of an administrative domain can be loose or have a strict hierarchy, reflecting and representing the authority and willingness to route certain parts of the administration. There are several ways to configure this type of cyber security using different security software and methods.
The administrative domain is a domain class labeled under “AdminDomain” and is a concept of the GLUE information model. This specific type of information model is used in grid entities and is described in a natural language program and UML class diagrams. Its design, as a conceptual model, makes it independent and different from the hard data models adopted for model implementation. The model also draws on past models and multiple modeling approaches used for certain security infrastructures.
There are, however, other ways an administrative domain is set up and used. Some default settings are generally acceptable for computer and network security purposes, but optional steps can be taken to maximize optimization for a particular entity. Some programs may need to be migrated and installed on hosts in a domain. They may also need to be configured to run as a primary administrative server to function optimally as an administrative domain. Another optional step to take is to use certain web or software tools to configure tape devices, media clients and servers.
Setting up an administrative domain consists of adjusting multiple settings to suit the user’s preferences. Generally, the easiest way to be able to configure domain settings is to log into the domain using “admin”, which has a username and password created during the initial installation of the domain or software. Examples of settings to configure include media retention values or authentication information. Another set of configurations involves media clients and servers, where subsets of hosts can be added or removed from the authentication standards.
