SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL
User Profile Management (UPM) performs the user ID and
password validation function at log-on. UPM also provides facilities
for the management of IDs and groups within the domain.
A network administrator has a wide range of mechanisms with
which to control and manage user access to the network. A network
administrator has the ability to define:
o Valid log-on times
- Permitted log-on times can be specified in weekly intervals
such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 9:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m.
o Valid workstations
- By default, a user can log on from any workstation on the
network; however, the administrator can specify one to eight
workstations to which a user is restricted.
o Account expiration date
- Individual accounts can be set to expire on specified dates.
This is useful for temporary employees and classroom
environments.
o Forced log-off
- When a user's account expires or the limits of a valid log-on
time are reached, the system can be set to force the user to
log off immediately, grant the user a specified grace period
before an automatic log-off occurs, or ignore the expiration
and let the user continue working.
The OS/2 LAN Server products use the U.S. Government data
encryption standard (DES) encryption algorithm to encrypt passwords.
Network administrators can also use the following system wide
settings to control the use of passwords:
o Minimum password length -- specifies the required number of
characters.
o Maximum password age -- forces users to change their passwords at
specified intervals.
o Minimum password age -- stops users from altering their passwords
until a specified interval has passed.
o Unique password history -- ensures that a password chosen by a
user is different from as many as eight of the user's previous
passwords.
Once a user is logged on to a domain, the user's access to a
given resource is controlled by the access control profile for that
given resource. The following permissions can be specified in an
access control profile, allowing flexibility because combinations of
appropriate permissions may be constructed to give very specific
control to a user:
None= No access to the resource.
Execute= Use the resource (an application program),
but not able to copy to diskette or
hard file.
Read= Read Only.
Write= Write Only.
Create= Create a file or directory.
Delete= Delete a file or directory.
Attribute= Change the attributes of a file.
Permission= Gives a user the ability to grant
other users access to this resource.
By default, all resources are protected. A network
administrator can grant permissions to groups and individual users.
Creating groups of users with similar resource needs makes it easier
to grant access permissions. New users added to an existing group
inherit the permissions previously given to the group. An
administrator can effectively manage the resources in the network by
using a combination of group designations and permissions.
There are several facilities available to secure an OS/2 LAN
Server without locking the server away in a room of its own. The
PS/2 (R) hardware provides a power-on password facility that disables
the machines on startup until the correct password is provided.
Another password facility allows the locking of the keyboard for
those times when the operator is temporarily away. A Server Mode
function is also available that automatically disables input at
startup but allows the machine to come to full readiness without
operator interaction. The 386 high performance file system provides
file protection against unauthorized access to any server file. This
protection cannot be evaded by rebooting the server and is functional
even when the LAN Server code is not running. This protection
applies to all files stored on the 386 HPFS file partition. The 386
HPFS is available with the Advanced product only.
A comprehensive audit trail facility enhances security by
enabling administrators to keep track of selected server resources.
Any network resource, such as a directory, an individual file, a
named pipe or a printer queue, can be designated for auditing.
Resource auditing can provide data on the type of access-open, close,
read, write, user name, accessing workstation, date and time of
occurrence, outcome of access and descriptive information about the
event. Server auditing can keep track of when the server is started,
stopped, paused or continued; all log-ons and log-offs; and all
remote administration connections. The administrator also has the
ability to audit changes to the user and group account database and
to audit changes to the access control list.
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.
