Security Manager
Release 10 of CWM Security Manager (SM) is a new Java-based application that is launched from the
desktop. The Security M an ag e r p rovides controlled access to m u lt ip le users of Cisco WAN Manager
(CWM), based on the us e r’s UNIX User ID and password.
Security Manager provides user-access p rofi les th at can b e customized for each user. The user-access
profile is a list of operations or ac tions a user can perform coup led w i th ass i gn ed a cce s s p rivi lege s f or
each action. A user can be assi gned ac cess privileges to read, create (write ), mo d if y, and/or de let e.
By default, only the svplus user can start and stop the CWM core processes. The svplus user has
sufficient access privileges to launch all C W M a pplications and administer the Secu r it y M a na ge r
application.
Other users can be assigned ac cess pr ivilege s th at en ab le them to perform operations w i th in
security-controlled applications. These operations can be limited depending on the setting of access
privileges by those who administer Security Management. Without the proper access privileges, users
cannot launch security-controlled applications.
