Sun Microsystems SL500 Standalone SL Console, Security Considerations, Installation Requirements

Standalone SL Console

Standalone SL Console

The standalone SL Console is a standard feature of the StorageTek library. It enables you to run the SL Console application remotely from a PC or workstation that has a network connection to the library. Using the standalone SL Console you can connect to any library for which you have a valid user ID.

Security Considerations

The SL Console application interfaces with the primary library interface (PLI) over a security software layer (SSL). The SSL provides a secure communication path between the library and the customer’s operator panel; this prevents an unauthorized network user from monitoring library activity.

Platform	Solaris 9—SPARC
	Solaris 10—SPARC
	Windows 2003 Server—32 bit
