380 Chapter 8 Security Management
P0609330 2.0
Unified Manager security considerations include:
• How long you want the Unified Manager to remain open if there is no input from the user.
Refer to “Setting the Interface Timeout” on page 380.
• If you want to use secure web access to Unified Manager through SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
Note that SSL encryption does not secure the Configuration Menu, to secure communication
with the Configuration Menu, a VPN client connection is required. Refer to “Setting system
security compatibility levels” on page 380 and the chapter that describes Virtual Private
Networks (VPN) in the Programming Operations Guide.
• How much access to the Unified Manager interface users are allowed. Access is based on user
privileges defined through user group membership.There are two default administrator
accounts, ee_admin and supervisor, which both also have default dial-in access privileges.
Refer to “Managing access passwords” on page 382. This section also contains information
about determining password policy.
Setting the Interface Timeout
Set the amount of time the Unified Manager stays open if there is no input activity. When the
timeout period completes, the program automatically returns to the log-in window. This prevents
unauthorized users from accessing the system.
1 On the navigation tree, click on the Management heading.
A screen with two tabs appears in the right frame.
2 Click on Unified Manager Management tab.
3 In the Unified Manager Timeout field, enter the period of inactivity the program will allow
before it closes the application and returns to the log-in window.
Setting system security compatibility levels
Use the Security screen to set authentication, signing, encryption, and other security-related
settings. Some of these settings depend on the Windows operating system used by client
workstations.
!
Security Note: Minimum configuration should include changing all default system
passwords.
!
Security Note: This is especially important if a password-protected screen saver is
not installed on the client PC.
Note: If you do not want the Unified Manager to time out, enter 0 in this field.
