4. INTRODUCING THE UTILITIES MENU

The Utilities Menu is executed through selection four on the SENTRY Main Menu. The programs provided in this selection are ancillary to the job of providing sound, well documented system security. These utility programs offer conveniences such as duplicating the protection from one account to another, purging the Violations Log, and generating new passwords.

Please select one of the above: 4

Figure 42 - Using the fourth selection on the Main Menu, you may invoke the Utilities Menu.

Through the five utility programs offered in the Utilities Menu you may make a number of "global" changes with little effort. These programs are provided as a convenience for the System Administrator who frequently needs to perform certain tasks on a system-wide basis.

One program provides you with the convenience of duplicating all of the Database Command security from one account to another, saving data entry time.

You may use our utility program to purge the Violations Log on a selective basis. Our password generation program will generate new passwords for all users using the standard specified in the System Profile for length and format. A special report is available to assist the System Administrator in notifying users of the changes.

Should SENTRY’s cross reference files become damaged, you can easily rebuild them through this menu. Additionally, we have provided a utility to “re-install” SENTRY’s command protection on an account.
