Port Server Security
The port server process of the Remote Annex allows it to accept telnet
orrlogin connection requests from network users, hosts, and applications.
When a user connects to a Remote Annex via telnet or rlogin and
responds to the port prompt by entering a port or rotary number, the
security server requires an Windows NT
®
domain user name and
password.
To configure server-based security:
• For port server connections, set the port_server_security
parameter to
Y.
• For VCLI connections, set the vcli_security parameter to
Y.
Third Party Security Types
Remote Annex Server Tools for Windows NT
®
supports:
• ACE/Server (SecurID) security.
Using ACE/Server Security
The ACE/Server token is an access control security token used to identify
users of computer systems and secure TCP/IP networks. Used in
conjunction with the SecurID card hardware or software access control
modules (ACMs), the ACE/Server token automatically generates a
unique, unpredictable access code every 60 seconds. The ACE/Server, a
daemon that interfaces with the user database, allows the system
administrator to monitor login attempts and generate reports.
