Security
Turning Security On/Off
Software security can have one of two default positions:
Default Deny
Under these conditions, everything not explicitly permitted, is forbidden.
While it may improve security, it does so at a cost in functionality.
Default Permit
Everything is permitted. The advantage of this kind of security operation is
that it allows greater functionality, and it may be adequate for the initial
phases of setting up and testing the system.
By default the CA RCM Portal’s security parameter is set as disabled. This means
that when a user logs in, using a recognized user name, the CA RCM Portal will
not check the user’s permissions: no limits will be placed on what is visible to the
user. The user can see all the menus and menu options and the user can activate
and use them all.
The security parameter located in the eurekify.properties file is:
sage.security.disable=true
When this property is set to =False, the system shifts to the Default Deny
position and only what is explicitly permitted will be visible and enabled for the
user.
