About Host-based Security
The Access Control Protocol (ACP) provides host-based security in
which a UNIX host on the network is defined as a security server. You
can modify the host-based software to implement a security policy that
fits the needs of your environment.
enable_security Parameter
To use any security feature, you must enable security for the RA 6300 by
setting the enable_security parameter to Y. This parameter is mandatory
if you intend to use any security mechanisms (except the administrative
password for access to administrative tools).
If the enable_security parameter is set to N, no security is used, and no
logging is performed regardless of any other parameter setting.
The enable_security parameter does not take effect until the
RA 6300 is either rebooted or reset.
Overview of Local Password Protection
Local password protection allows you to assign a password that a user
must enter before accessing an RA 6300. Because this password is stored
locally on the RA 6300, it does not require a remote security server. Local
password protection can be used as a back-up security mechanism in case
the host-based security servers are unavailable.
