Alcatel-Lucent supports customers applying RHEL, or Windows patches provided by Red
Hat, or Microsoft which will include security fixes as well as functional fixes. If a patch
is found to be incompatible with 5620 SAM, the patch may need to be removed until a
solution to the incompatibility is provided by Red Hat, Microsoft, or Alcatel-Lucent.
Consult the
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM Release 13.0 Release Notice
documents for
up-to-date information about the recommended RHEL maintenance update and patch
levels.
5620 SAM is supported on RHEL installed with the list of required RHEL Packages
documented in the
5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation and Upgrade Guide
. SELinux is
not supported.
Additional efforts to secure the system could impact 5620 SAM's operation or future
upgrades of the product. Customer's should perform some level of basic testing to
validate additional platform hardening does not impact 5620 SAM's operation. The 5620
SAM Product Group makes no commitment to make 5620 SAM compatible with a
customer's hardening requirements.

Alcatel-Lucent recommends the following steps when installing the 5620 SAM
components:
•
Configure the 5620 SAM Server IP validation during the 5620 SAM Database
installation to ensure that only the specified IP address can communicate with the
5620 SAM database. This is documented in the
5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation
and Upgrade Guide
.
•
Configure SSL for secure communication between the 5620 SAM server and 5620
SAM clients (OSS and UI) as documented in the
5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation
and Upgrade Guide
.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends the configuration (as documented in the
5620 SAM User
Guide
) of the following options to secure communication with the 5620 SAM Client UI
and 5620 SAM Client OSS interfaces:
•
Password history count
•
Password expiry periods
