Setting security options for a Services
Manager
The Security Options function, which you can configure for each Services Manager, enables you
to specify whether other Services Managers have the right to add or acquire devices managed by
that Services Manager and to publish connector profiles to that Services Manager.
For example, in a ScanStation environment, you might want to designate a specific ScanStation as
the main system where you configure connector profiles and publish them to other ScanStations.
On that main ScanStation, you would enable the security option that keeps all other Services
Managers from publishing profiles to it. You might then set the security options on the other
ScanStations to allow publishing only by the Services Manager on the main ScanStation.
In a ShareScan Embedded environment, you might want to set the security options for a specific
Services Manager to allow other Services Managers to add devices managed by it and to publish
connector profiles to it.
If you enable security for a Services Manager and add IP addresses to the list of allowed Services
Managers, and you later clear the Enable Security option, the addresses stay in the list, but the
Services Manager ignores it.
To block access by other Services Managers:
1
In the console tree, select the name of the Services Manager and then click the
Display
Security Options
button on the console toolbar.
The
Security Options
window opens.
2
Select the
Enable
option. By default, this option is disabled.
3
Select the
Prevent addition of devices and connector profile publishing
option. Other
Services Managers will not have the right to add or acquire devices managed by this
Services Manager or to publish connector profiles to it.
