The Security Manager enables you to control remote access to the services on
your system. This is done by assigning passwords to specific User ID's, and
then selecting which services this User ID/Password combination will be allowed
to access. If an unauthorized remote user attempts to access your system, a
screen will appear asking for a valid User ID/Password combination. If a valid
User ID/Password combination is not provided, remote access to your system is
not granted.
If the Security Manager has not been preconfigured, there will be a User ID
called <PUBLIC>. This is a general security access default setting. It
enables any system using the corresponding outgoing User ID/Password default
combination to access all Netfinity* services on your system. Also, when a
remote system user attempts to use the Remote System Manager's Login System
action to access your system (i.e. enters a non-configured outgoing User
ID/Password combination) and fails to match a corresponding incoming User
ID/Password combination, the remote user will receive access to any services
allowed according to your <PUBLIC> configuration by default. You can edit the
list of services available from the <PUBLIC> User ID/Password combination by
selecting <PUBLIC> from the User ID selection list, selecting the services you
wish to make available for public access, and then selecting Set to save your
configuration.
To create a new incoming User ID/Password combination, and determine access to
services:
1. Enter a User ID
Enter the User ID that you are allowing access to. You may select an ID
from the User ID selection list, or enter a new ID in the entry field.
2. Enter a password
Enter the password that, when used in combination with the specified User
ID, will allow access to all selected services. This password will not
be displayed.
3. Select the accessible services
Select one or more services from the selection list. The selected
services will be available to users who provide the configured User
ID/Password combination.
4. Save your incoming security configuration
Select Set to save your configuration.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Edit or Display Outgoing Passwords ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This service enables you to set default User ID/Password combinations for
remote Network Addresses. The User ID/Password combination will be tried first
when trying to gain access to the particular system you have selected from the
Remote System Manager's System Group. If the outgoing User ID/Password
combination matches an incoming User ID/Password combination that has been
configured on the remote system, access is granted to all services that are
available using this User ID/Password combination. If the default outgoing
User ID/Password combination does not match any of the remote system's
configured incoming User ID/Password combinations, a window will appear asking
for a valid User ID/Password combination. If a valid User ID/Password
combination is not provided, remote access to the system is not granted.
If the Security Manager has not been preconfigured, there will be a default
outgoing User ID/Password combination. This default setting corresponds to the
<PUBLIC> default incoming User ID/Password combination. If the Default
outgoing User ID/Password combination is available, access to any systems with
the <PUBLIC> default incoming User ID/Password is automatically granted.
However, the Netfinity* services that are available on the accessed system may
vary.
Note: Outgoing User ID/Password combinations can only be edited or created if
you have the Netfinity* Remote System Manager.
