Figure 26. Security Manager
•
User ID
Here you define the different manager users that are allowed to have access
to this workstation from a remote manager workstation. Please be aware
that the user <PUBLIC> defines the access rights for all users that don′t
identify themselves with a user ID and password. This means, that in case a
NetFinity Manager just hits the Enter key, when asked for a user ID and
password without entering it, he or she will be treated as a public user. By
default the public users have all access rights to the workstations. Please
remember to remove all access rights, after you have defined your first
administrator user ID. Please remove the access rights for <PUBLIC>
after
you defined the new users. The new definitions become active right after
selecting the Set button. If you make a mistake and delete the PUBLIC user
ID before adding another one, the way to reset the IDs back to the default is
to delete the SEC.INI file.

Password/Password Verify
These are the definition fields where you can define/change the password for
the different manager users accessing this workstation.
•
Services
Here you define the different services, to which the NetFinity managers have
access. Highlighting a service means access; no highlighting means no
access to this service. You can individually select different services for
different managers. This is used to restrict the individual access to the
different services.

Security Manager Access
This the most important definition within this menu. Please be careful with
this definition. If a user Security Manager Access has been defined, he or
she can create new manager user IDs, passwords and give additional access
rights to other users. So this enables managers to define and enhance
