Change a Security Policy
Before changing a security policy, note these considerations:
•
Only a user who belongs to the ROLE.SECMGR role can change a security policy.
•
Changing these security policies requires stopping and restarting all NDCS services:
— Allow Down-rev Drivers to Connect
— Log Successful Database Logins
— Log Failed Database Logins
— Abort Database Login if Logging Fails
— Role Password Required at Login (any change applying to Database Users or Platform
Users)
NOTE:
For changes to these policies, Security Administrators should notify all users in
advance that a policy change will occur. Users should be instructed to disconnect from the
Neoview platform before the policy change is made. After changing the policy, the Security
Administrator should notify all users that they can reconnect to the Neoview platform.
•
Changes to security policies generally take effect immediately. However, some changes can
take longer. For example, changes to authentication logging can take up to five minutes to
be implemented.
To change a security policy:
1.
Log on as a user belonging to ROLE.SECMGR.
2.
Select the Security area. For more information about areas, see
3.
In the navigation tree pane, select the Policies folder. The policies tabs appear in the right
pane (under the Security tab), allowing you to configure the policy options.
