Security Guide

Roles and responsibilities

Xerox will make every effort to assist the administrator in ensuring
that the customer environment is secure.

Xerox responsibilities

Xerox is committed to providing a level of security which will allow
the DocuSP controller to be a good network citizen in response to
current security intrusions. Additional security beyond this remains
the responsibility of the customer.

Xerox is constantly evaluating the security of the DocuSP
controller and the Sun Solaris operating system. Xerox is
committed to providing the latest Solaris security patches provided
by Sun Microsystems in each major DocuSP release. The
DocuSP development team will also add Solaris security patches
in between major release cycles. All OS security patches for
applications that are added during a DocuSP install will be
included, even if the application code is not normally used by
DocuSP users. Security patches for applications that are not
loaded by a DocuSP install will not be evaluated or included. Only
the version of a patch impacting security will be included. If a
security patch has a newer version that is not security related,
then this patch will not be updated to the newer version. Any
security patch that is determined to have a negative impact to
DocuSP operation will not be added.

Customer Responsibilities

The administrator has the primary responsibility for maintaining
the security of the network within the customer's site. It is
important that network security is continuously monitored and
maintained, and that appropriate security policies are established
and followed.

The procedures outlined in this document assume a basic
knowledge of UNIX, the vi editor, and general computing
concepts. It is expected that the network administrator or system
administrator responsible for network security understands the
base commands (cd, chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, man, more, ps,
etc.), and the UNIX directory path and filename structures shown
in this document.

There is information within the text and in the appendix sections
for reference to those who may not use UNIX often.

The DocuSP product operates on the default Solaris OS
configuration and some additional Solaris patches required by
DocuSP. Several scripts are used to provide additional security for
