System Security:
To control access to the
information in the server databases, you can implement
two levels of password protection. Implementing these
security measures helps you to ensure the integrity of the
data and programs that are stored in the server.
After you set a power-on password, you can enable the
unattended-start mode. This locks the keyboard and
mouse, but allows the system to start the operating
system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you
enter the correct password.
The System Security choice appears only on the full
System Configuration Utility main menu.
After you set a power-on or administrator password, you
must enter the password when you turn on the server.
(The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type
them.)

When a
power-on password is set, you must enter a password
