PolicyCenter Server Security

Procedures to allow or disallow access to the PolicyCenter software and Directory Server.

In addition to several different types of password protection for its configurations, access to the PolicyCenter directory server itself can be restricted with passwords, secure logins, and RADIUS authentication.

Select one of the following for additional information on setting PolicyCenter security.

• Passwords
  Change passwords for both PolicyCenter and the Sun ONE Directory Server.  
  
  
• RADIUS Authentication
  If you want to take advantage of your RADIUS (third-party software) user authentication, login, and accounting features, you can integrate PolicyCenter and RADIUS.
  
  
• HTTPS
  PolicyCenter is automatically configured to run HTTP over SSL on port 443. You can select a different listening port for configuration, or for the PolicyCenter software itself. This screen also has a button for generating a new digital certificate for PolicyCenter if you believe the certificate’s security was compromised.  
  
  
• SSH
  The PolicyCenter is automatically configured to run SSH on port 22. If you use the SSH setup window to select a different listening port for a configuration, all units assigned to this configuration apply the new setting.
