Important:

The

Secondary Logon

system service should be set to

Automatic

on HP NAS server systems

having 3

party applications that execute functions using a secondary user or group account.

The

Secondary Logon

system service allows the user to create processes in the context of different

security principals. Restricted users commonly use this service to log on as a user with elevated

privileges for temporarily running administrative programs. This service enables users to start

processes under alternate credentials. These features are not required in the baseline server
environment. While this service is beneficial on client computers, it is not appropriate on most servers

because users logging onto them interactively will be members of the IT team performing some sort of

maintenance tasks that typically require administrative privileges. Therefore, this service is configured

Disabled

in the three environments defined in this guide.

Important:

The

Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)

system service must be set to

on HP

NAS server systems requiring mail notifications of NAS system failures.

The

Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)

system service transports electronic mail across the

network. This service is not a requirement for the baseline server policy. Therefore, this service is

configured to

Disabled

in the three environments defined in this guide.

Important:

The

Simple TCP/IP Services

may be set to

on HP NAS server systems requiring

the following TCP/IP feature sets.

The

Simple TCP/IP Services

system service supports the following TCP/IP protocols:

•

Echo (port 7, RFC 862)

•

Discard (port 9, RFC 863)

•

Character Generator (port 19, RFC 864)

•

Daytime (port 13, RFC 867)

•

Quote of the Day (port 17, RFC 865)

These features are not required in the baseline server environment. Therefore, this service is
configured to

Disabled

in the three environments defined in this guide.

Important:

The

SNMP Service

must be set to
