20 Managing security

This chapter describes tasks for managing security.

About security settings

Replication Manager provides security functions that allow you to perform the following:

Set password conditions to prevent users from using easy-to-guess passwords.

Enable automatic locking of user accounts for which successive login attempts have failed.

Display a user-specified message (a warning banner) in the user login window at login time as a
security measure.

You can specify security options using either the management server configuration file or commands.
If Replication Manager is in a cluster environment, specify the security options for each management
server. For more information, see the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Configuration Guide.
