Security Provisions, Password Protection

Page 80 highlights

Security Provisions Security provisions are available to restrict unauthorized access to the director and attached devices. Access to the director (through the HP EFC Manager application, Product Manager application, and Web server interface) is restricted by implementing password protection. Access to attached computing resources (including applications and data) is restricted by implementing name server zoning. Password Protection Access to the HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications requires configuration of a user name and password. Up to 16 user names and associated passwords can be configured, although only nine users can log in concurrently (eight remote and one local). Each user is assigned rights that allow access to specific sets of director management operations. Table 1 explains the types of user rights available. A user may have more than one set of user rights granted. Table 1 Types of User Rights User Right Operator Access Allowed View Only The user may view director configurations and status, but may not make changes. These rights are the default if no other user rights are assigned. Operator Product Administrator The operator may view status and configuration information in the Product Manager application and perform operational control changes such as blocking ports and placing the director online or offline. The product administrator can make all control and configuration changes through the Product Manager application. System Administrator Maintenance The system administrator can make all control and configuration changes, define users and passwords, and add or remove directors (or other managed products) through the HP EFC Manager application. The maintenance operator can perform all director control and configuration changes through the Product Manager application, and perform diagnostics, log maintenance, firmware loads, and data collection. 66 Security Provisions

Security Provisions
Security Provisions
Security provisions are available to restrict unauthorized access to the director and
attached devices. Access to the director (through the HP EFC Manager application,
Product Manager application, and Web server interface) is restricted by implementing
password protection. Access to attached computing resources (including applications and
data) is restricted by implementing name server zoning.
Password Protection
Access to the HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications requires configuration
of a user name and password. Up to 16 user names and associated passwords can be
configured, although only nine users can log in concurrently (eight remote and one local).
Each user is assigned rights that allow access to specific sets of director management
operations. Table 1 explains the types of user rights available. A user may have more than
one set of user rights granted.
