Security Provisions
Security provisions are available to restrict unauthorized access to a director,
switch, or attached Fibre Channel devices. Access to the director or switch
(through the HAFM application, Element 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 one or more of the following security provisions:
■ SANtegrity Binding
■ PDCM Arrays
■ Preferred Path
■ Zoning
■ Server and Storage-Level Access Control
Password Protection
Access to the HAFM and Element Manager applications requires configuration of
a user name and password. Up to 16 user names and associated passwords can be
configured, although only 9 users can log in concurrently (8 remote and 1 local).
Each user is assigned rights that allow access to specific sets of product
management operations.
Table 3 explains the types of user rights available. A user may have more than one
set of user rights granted.
Table 3: Types of User Rights
User Right Operator Access Allowed
View Only The user may view product configurations and status but
may not make changes. These rights are the default if no
other user rights are assigned.
Operator The operator may view status and configuration
information through the
Element Manager application
and perform operational control changes, such as
blocking ports and placing the product online or offline.
