ViewPoint Installation Considerations
Security Considerations
VHS Browser does not provide its own security checking. If you are using the
ViewPoint environment, VHS Browser relies on the security system provided by
ViewPoint to check for two authorization levels:
•
Who can install and start VHS Browser
•
Who can run VHS Browser
When INSTALL is run, the VHS ISV files are restored with the operator’s ownership
and security values. Verify these values to ensure that they are acceptable. VHS
installation procedures require read access to the ISV files and result in files being
copied and created on the subvolume defined by the VHS-BROWSER-SUBVOL
parameter.
Once installed, VHS Browser follows ViewPoint security measures. For more
information on ViewPoint security, refer to the ViewPoint Manual.
