Security
To ensure protection of your data, HP products offer multi-level security using native
operating system security features. Privileges are granted through membership in user
groups defined on each machine. To gain access to a source or target, the user must
provide a valid operating system user name and password and the specified user name
must be a member of one of the Storage Mirroring Recover security groups. Once a valid
user name and password have been provided and the source or target has verified
membership in one of the security groups, the user is granted appropriate access to the
source or target and the corresponding features are enabled in the client. Access is
granted on one of the following three levels.
● Administrator Access—All features are available for that machine.
● Monitor Access—Servers and statistics can be viewed, but functionality is not
available.
● No Access—Servers appear in the clients, but no access to view the server
details is available.
Although passwords are encrypted when they are stored, HP security design does
assume that any machine running the client application is protected from unauthorized
access. If you are running the client and step away from your machine, you must protect
your machine from unauthorized access.
