About Support Tools Security

Support Tools operates with the following security restrictions:

A.Access to Support Tools is limited to the local network. Remote access via the Internet is not supported. Users must authenticate against the network in order to use Support Tools.

B.Users must login to the Support Tools Dashboard using their network ID and password, or the ID and password of a valid network account. If desired, you can configure the Support Tools Login page to use SSL so that user passwords are encrypted when they are sent to the server.

C.Within the Support Tools Dashboard, access to specific utilities is determined by Windows User Group membership. Only members of the user group designated as the Support Tools privileged group can use utilities capable of system modification from the Dashboard. Non-privileged users are limited to information gathering functionality only. Note that Support Tools utilities used outside of the Dashboard environment (namely, via command-line) do not impose these levels of privilege.

The use of Support Tools utilities outside of the Dashboard environment (accessed via a command line on a node) is not controlled by a login/password. System administrators can use Windows NTFS directory privileges to limit this method of access to specific users or groups.
