Access & Authentication Control

Authentication & Authorization on NonStop systems is a complex arrangement of basic Guardian file permissions, Safeguard globals and optional object ACLs. All of these elements combine to provide the final control on who can do what to an object.

In addition to managing this complicated structure, the security administrator may also have to consider additional controls, especially when managing powerful object files that have LICENSE and or PROGID set. Another constant issue is how to manage the access of powerful users, log keystrokes and audit activities.
