3.2.6 Applications Sending Alerts to the Alert Manager
For detailed information about the TME 10 NetFinity functions mentioned here,
please see 2.1.1, “ TME 10 NetFinity Functions for Services” on page 12. In this
paragraph only the alert handling is described.
Note
Most of the following definitions can be ether done from the administered
system itself or remotely through the Remote System Manager. However, all
guidelines given here, refer to the managed system.
3.2.6.1 Security Manager
The Security Manager will create an alert if access for a TME 10 NetFinity
service is granted or rejected to a user or another service. This depends on the
profile defined for the user. Please refer to 2.1.1, “ TME 10 NetFinity Functions for
Services” on page 12 for how to define the user profile.
By default, all access rights are granted to the user public, which means that
everybody has all rights.
To define alert conditions:
1. Start the Security Manager.
2. Choose Edit/Display Incoming Passwords.
3. Create one or more new user profiles and save them.
4. Remove all access rights from the user public including the Security
Manager Access. (You can not remove the user itself.)
5. Click on Set to activate the new profiles.
6. Click on Exit to leave the Security Manager.
If you make a mistake and remove the access rights for public before adding the
new user IDs, you can always delete the SEC.INI file. It will reset the password
profile back to the default of just public.
For every attempt to connect to the TME 10 NetFinity Services remotely, an alert
will be generated. Another alert will be initiated whether the access is granted or
denied.
