Use this page to define default security settings that can be used with Directory Server and enterprise servers. You can override these defaults for individual servers
Click this to add a security manager from the pool of available definitions.
Check this if you want the security facility to permit access to any unknown resource; that is, any resource for which all entries on the priority list return Unknown.
You might use this in circumstances where you only want to restrict access to some resources.
Check this if you want to allow unknown users to log in.
This column indicates whether or not the security manager is enabled. If it is not enabled, it will be ignored by Directory Server and those enterprise servers that reference it.
Enter the maximum size in kilobytes that the Directory Server or enterprise server's security facility can use for caching the results of security queries.
Enter the maximum time in seconds that an entry in the cache can be used to satisfy requests before the details must be requeried from the security manager.
Check this to enable the enterprise server or Directory Server to generate security audit events. These events can be captured and logged by the Audit Facility.
Specify any additional configuration settings that the security facility requires.
This is the list of security managers (taken from the available pool) that can be used to perform security queries.
Use the up and down arrows to reposition the selected entry.
This column shows the module used by a security manager to access an external security manager or to implement the security rules.
This column shows the name that used to identify a security manager.
Indicates the position of the security manager in the sequence in which the security managers are queried.
Use this to select a security manager for removal or for moving to a different position in the list.
The description column shows the description for a security manager.
Click this to remove the currently selected definition from this list.
Check this if a user requesting authorization is to have the permissions of every group to which he or she belongs.
Uncheck this if the user is to have only the permissions of the group specified in the initial security API call that requested verification (authentication) of the user's credentials. Where no group is specified in the verify call, a default group is used.
Set this if you want each security query to be checked by all entries on the Security Manager Priority List.
If this is not set, the entries will be queried in the order that they appear on the Priority List until one gives a response of Allow, Deny, or Fail (equivalent to Deny). This response will then be used to decide what action should be taken.
If this field is set, all entries on the list will be queried, and if any returns a Deny or Fail, the access request will be denied. If there are no Deny or Fail responses and at least one of the entries on the list gives Allow as its response, the request will be allowed.
If a security manager does not have a rule for the resource or user specified in the request, it gives a response of Unknown. Whatever the setting of the Verify against all Security Managers field, if all of the entries on the priority list respond with Unknown, the request will be denied unless you have checked Allow unknown resources or Allow unknown users.
