Types of Security
To improve the security of your OVO system, you need to do much more
than configure software.
In particular, you should investigate the following:
❏ System Security
Enable the OVO management server and managed node to run on a
“trusted” system.
For details, see “About System Security” on page 480.
❏ Network Security
Protect (primarily DCE-related) data that is exchanged between the
management server and the managed node. Note that DCE security
is not supported on Solaris.
For details, see “About Network Security” on page 482.
❏ OVO Security
Investigate security-related aspects of application setup and
execution, operator-initiated actions, and OVO auditing.
For details, see “About Security in OVO Operations” on page 494 and
“About Security in OVO Auditing” on page 513.
NOTE To find out how OVO behaves in an environment protected by firewalls,
see the OVO Firewall Configuration white paper.
