The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating system pre–installed on the PAP unit
provides standard security features for controlling access to applications and resources.
PAM software security is based on Windows) user management and you are advised to
give Windows) administrator rights to at least one member of the PAP Customer
Administrator user group. For further details about user management, refer to the Microsoft
Windows documentation on the Bull NovaScale Server System Resource CD.
Note:
You are advised to change the temporary Administrator password (administrator) used for
setup purposes and to maintain a detailed record of authorized users.
