IMPORTANT

CA Server stores personal information. In order to prevent data theft and leakage, we recommend the following:

Set a password-protected screensaver to activate after your computer has been idle for a set amount of time.

Use Windows Update to keep your system up-to-date with the latest software patches.

Carefully manage access to the CA Server computer, and install a firewall to prevent unauthorised access from the internet.

Whenever possible, use SSL or other forms of secure data communication.

Set a login password that is at least 5 characters long, and contains a combination of letters and numbers.

Periodically change all login passwords to prevent unauthorised access by third parties.

Set a password as soon as possible after CA Server is installed. Ensure a password is always set; if the password is reset for any reason, set the new password immediately.

Make regular backups of program databases and store them securely in a different location. Record any settings information should you need to re-install CA Server, and store it securely.

Care should be taken when sending e-mail via program features. Specifying an incorrect e-mail address may result in the transmission of personal information to an unauthorised party. When e-mail settings are made, send a test e-mail to confirm the settings are correct.

Restrict access to CA Server and CA Web Manager to designated administrators. Whenever possible, do not install or run unnecessary programs on the computer used to run CA Server.

When using an external authorisation server, periodically check to make sure all security certificates are valid and up-to-date.

When users change extensions, desks, etc., make sure that the access rights for their previous and new extensions and computers are correct.

When having the computer serviced, use only authorised technicians, and before servicing, password protect or encrypt access to database files.

When the computer used for CA Server is transferred, disposed of, or taken out of service, ensure all sensitive data is securely erased.
