Introduction Introduction C•CURE 800/8000 has an Enhanced Password Protection feature that increases the overall security of the C•CURE 800/8000 applications. C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection provides the ability to Validate C•CURE 800/ 8000 users and allow access only to valid users. Without the use of Enhanced Password Protection, C•CURE 800/8000 applications use traditional authentication. These applications present a login screen upon startup. This allows you to create a single, standard username and password that all C•CURE 800/8000 users can use as their validation into C•CURE 800/8000 applications. C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection solves both the security and multiple log in issues by requiring that each user be uniquely identified within the operating system. When a defined user logs into the computer, the user’s local workstation username is then applied by the C•CURE 800/8000 system to validate and assign privileges to the user within the C•CURE 800/8000 system. Using the operating system for account management provides additional features such as password ageing, account lockout and complexity rules. The C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection feature moves the authentication process from C•CURE 800/8000 to the operating system and also provides tools for locking or terminating C•CURE 800/8000 when a station is left unattended. When the C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection feature is used in conjunction with the policy management system provided by the operating system, administrators can create highly secure systems that do the following: • Meet the demands of most applications requiring extensive security. • Comply with organizational standards for computer security. NOTE This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the concepts of Windows administration, policy administration, and domains. Lack of knowledge in these areas could make the system insecure or at the very least limit the usefulness of the C•CURE 800/8000 changes. 1–2 Enhanced Password Protection Installation and Configuration Guide
Overview Overview C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection is a separate installation process that upgrades the existing C•CURE 800/8000 system installation. This allows a base system to be installed and tested before applying enhanced security features. C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection provides the ability to do both of the following: • Validate C•CURE users and allow access to valid users only. • Secure unused or idle workstations. Previously, C•CURE 800/8000 applications used only traditional authentication, presenting a login screen at startup. The traditional method allows you to create a single, standard username and password that all C•CURE 800/8000 users can use as their validation for C•CURE 800/8000 applications. This approach, however, is not practical in organizations requiring greater security because users must log in twice to use C•CURE 800/8000: • Once—through the Windows logon method. • For a second time—into the C•CURE application. C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection solves both the security and multiple login issues by requiring each user to be uniquely identified within the operating system. When a defined user logs onto the computer, the C•CURE system then applies the user’s Windows username to validate the user within C•CURE 800/8000 and assign privileges to that user. Using the operating system for account management also provides additional features such as password aging, account lockout, and complexity rules. Once C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection is implemented, the C•CURE 800/8000 applications no longer present the login screen at startup. C•CURE 800/8000 applications open only when a defined C•CURE 800/8000 user logs onto the computer with C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection. It is, therefore, essential that all users who require access to C•CURE 800/8000 have a Windows user account matching their C•CURE 800/8000 user account.
