System Administrator’s Guide

Limiting the Use of Admin

Flexibility in security

Like most Multi-Media security features, limiting the installation and use of Admin to the PCs of Multi SAs is optional.

To Limit Access to Admin Documentation

Tip

Tip

•Use only the View CD to install Multi software on a View operator’s PC.

Features

For secure installations, the Security Officer(s) in your organization should:

•Designate as few Multi SAs as possible

•Limit the installation of Admin software to the PC(s) of Multi SAs, especially in open systems.

For secure installations, Honeywell recommends that only Multi SAs receive copies of Admin software.

View operators should only receive copies of View.

- and -

•Limit the distribution of Admin documentation.

As a security measure, only the Admin disc can be used to install the Admin user documents.

When you use the View CD, only a Rapid Eye View Software Operator Guide is copied to the PC hard drive. The guide is in Adobe Portable Document format (PDF). As an added security measure, no one can run Admin or View documentation from the Rapid Eye Multi CDs; one needs to install Multi software before the documentation is available.

Password Guidelines

Flexibility in security

Like most Multi-Media security features, use of passwords is optional. Honeywell does recommend using and changing the system password and the password of the default “Administrator” account, even in minimal security environments. See System Password, on p. 166, and Administrator Password, on p. 176.

Access to the Multi system is obtained through user accounts. The Administrator account is the “super user” or “linchpin” account. Password use counters the unauthorized access to Multi- Media units.
