AcuServer includes a transparent layer of remote file access security. This security system allows you to configure AcuServer access to be as open or restrictive as suits your needs. AcuServer uses a site configured server access file (database) to validate the access privileges of service requesters. Optional password protection allows you to assign each user an individual password which the user must then supply to AcuServer when making an initial service request.
On a Windows NT or Windows 2000 server, AcuServer system security is designed to work with files that reside on an NTFS file system. (AcuServer can work with a FAT file system, but the files are less secure.) For NTFS file systems, you may set read and write access permissions on your files by using the Windows NT/2000 security features. Please refer to your Windows documentation for more information about NTFS file systems and security procedures.
