Managing Intellex Advanced Security through Security Settings

 

10

 Intellex® Policy Manager

At startup, each Intellex (instrument) notifies Policy Manager that it is available for use. If the 
server does not recognize the instrument, it rejects the call. If so, the Intellex unit

 

performs an 

initial registration with the server. If the registration succeeds, Policy Manager adds the Intellex 
unit to its internal database. In addition, the instrument is added to the All Secured Instruments 
container and to the Unassigned Instruments zone. At the end of the registration process, the 
security settings for the default site instrument are applied to the new instrument. If the instrument 
has been successfully registered with PM, a notification message is sent to all administration 
consoles currently active, and an entry is written to the PM event log.

Note

If the list of users and groups is only partially visible, position the mouse over the list for one item, 
and a help window appears displaying the entire contents of that list.

Instrument Menu

Select Action from the main menu, or right-click on a specific Intellex in the tree to display the instrument 
menu, as presented below.

Adding an Instrument

When the administrator installs Intellex units on the domain and configures them for advanced 
security, they automatically register themselves with the Policy Manager site based on the 
information the administrator provides. Intellex units cannot be added manually.
