Adding security options
Adding security options
Security features can help to protect your server data and programs
from unauthorized access and use, and help to physically protect
your server from theft and tampering. After you determine your
system security needs, you can activate or implement the
appropriate security features.
To control access to the information in your server databases, you
can implement security measures through your system configuration
programs. These features include defining two levels of password
protection, restricting diskette access, and defining a system owner's
name. Implementing these security measures helps you to ensure
the integrity of the data and programs that are stored in your
server. See “System Security” on page 43 for details.
To prevent writing to a diskette in a diskette drive, set the diskette
write-protect switch, as described in “Setting the diskette
write-protect switch” on page 268.
To erase lost or forgotten passwords, you can move the CMOS clear
(password) jumper on the system board.
To control access to other hardware components in your server, you
can install several types of optional devices. These options include:
Ÿ
U-bolt
Ÿ
Security cable
Ÿ
Padlock
The following section discusses these security options.
