Additional Security Techniques
The Safeguard security system extends the security offered by the NonStop operating
system. Safeguard does not need to be installed on every system on the network and
can be controlled by a single system. Safeguard adds these features:
•
User aliases
•
File-sharing groups
•
Multiple group membership for users and user aliases
•
Further user authentication such as expiration dates, temporary suspension, and
forced password-change intervals
•
Authorization access to all objects including files, devices, named processes, and
disks using access control lists
•
Auditing of file access, logon/logoff, and changes to security or security controls
•
Controlled file and process creation
Safeguard is described in the Safeguard Administrator’s Manual.
