In the Security Groups application,
specify security restrictions
and privileges for groups of users.
Adding security groups
Security privileges control user access to modules, applications,
menu options, and data. All security access is based on security groups.
Deleting users from security groups
The security group to which a user belongs controls the
level of access and privileges for the user within the system. To
address changes in your security needs, you can remove a user from
a security group.
Encrypting properties for security
You can encrypt properties in the maximo.properties file to provide additional security. The properties that are encrypted
have maxprop.encrypted=1 on the database.
Configuring the system to use application server security
You must configure the system to use application server
security. However, if application server security was configured through
the installer, you do not have to complete this procedure.
Changing cron task parameters for data synchronization
When you synchronize data from the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server to the system, the application
server synchronizes on the common name (cn) attribute. The attribute
is the Full Name field in the LDAP directory
server. You can change the default values of the parameters for synchronization
if necessary.
Setting password requirements
You can set password requirements, set password characters,
allow the placement of password characters, and create and delete
excluded passwords. When the system is implemented, the initial password
requirement is of a minimum length. You can change the minimum length
and specify additional requirements.
