Chapter 18 Configuring SGM Security

Configuring SGM User-Based Access

•The password cannot be a common word. SGM uses the dictionary located at /usr/lib/share/dict/words to determine whether a word is common. To override the SGM dictionary, change the DICT_FILE entry in the System.properties file:

–To disable the SGM dictionary and allow common words, change the DICT_FILE entry to:

DICT_FILE=/dev/null

–To use a custom dictionary, change the DICT_FILE entry to: DICT_FILE=/new-dictionary

where new-dictionaryis the path and filename of the custom dictionary file, such as /users/rolive/words. Each line in the custom dictionary must contain a single word, with no leading or trailing spaces.

Configuring SGM User Authentication Levels (Solaris Only)

This section describes the user authentication levels in SGM, and the SGM functions and Web displays available at each level:

•Basic User (Level 1) Access, page 18-7

•Power User (Level 2) Access, page 18-8

•Network Operator (Level 3) Access, page 18-8

•Network Administrator (Level 4) Access, page 18-9

•System Administrator (Level 5) Access, page 18-9

The authentication level that includes a function is the lowest level with access to that function. The function is also available to all higher authentication levels. For example, a System Administrator also has access to all Network Administrator functions.

Authentication levels are based on the function to be performed, not on the target object. Therefore, if a user can perform a function on one SGM object (such as deleting a node), the user can perform the same function on all similar SGM objects (such as deleting a signaling point or linkset).
