8.4 Disabling a Best Practice
Some Best Practices may not be applicable to one of your nodes. For example, you
may have a system that does not have Safeguard. In this case, you do not want to see
any of the Safeguard Best Practices. Select the row(s) you want to disable and click
Disable. The Best Practice item(s) will be moved to the disabled list, which can be
seen on another tab of the Best Practice display.
If a Best Practice item has been previously disabled and there is a need to re-apply it
to the node, you can select the Best Practice item to re-enable and click Enable to
return it to the normal Best Practice processing.
8.5 Altering a Best Practice Value to Match Your Corporate Policy
In some cases, the Best Practice value specified in the books HP NonStop Server
Security: A Practical Handbook and Securing HP NonStop Servers in an Open
Systems World: TCP/IP, OSS & SQL (refer to “Best Practices” on page xiv for ISBNs)
may be inappropriate for the security needs of your system. When that happens, you
can alter the Best Practice to use the appropriate value for your system.
Each Best Practice has two values: “Recommended_Value” and “Discovered_Value”
as shown in the columns below.
