AcuConnect system security is designed to address two fundamental security issues:
1. controlling access to applications
2. preventing unauthorized use of AcuConnect to perform privileged activities (such as modifying privileged files)
The first issue--controlling access to applications--is addressed in two ways: first, via the AcuConnect server access file , and second, through the standard UNIX or Windows NT file access provisions. Whether a user of AcuConnect can access a given application depends on two things: (1) the user ID assigned the requester in the server access file, and (2) either the Windows NT security set up for your files, or the UNIX ownerships and permissions set on the particular file.
The second issue--preventing unauthorized privileged use--is addressed through strict enforcement of the security measures that you have established through the server's operating system.
