Crossbrand - Netfinity Manager Services security exposure

Applicable to: World-Wide

Netfinity Manager Services
Subject :
Netfinity Security Exposure

Please note that if you install NetFinity/Systemview you must modify the default access setting. The product is shipped with a default access of 'Public'. Failure to modify this setting will result in general access to all data on your server, creating a security and audit exposure.

After the installation of the product, please ensure you modify as follows:

1. Select SECURITY MANAGER ICON

2. Select Edit/Display incoming Passwords

3. For the PUBLIC USERID click off all services. (Service section of screen should change to yellow)

4. Also remove checkmark for security manager access.

5. Select 'Set'

This does not remove your capability of accessing all of the services from the server workstation but, if remote access is required, you will need to establish a userid with password.
