Security Guidelines

Databridge 6.6 includes the following security guidelines:

Table 1

For	To decrease security risk
Databridge Host	Install Databridge Host to the Unisys mainframe under its own privileged usercode. This is preferable to installing under the usercode of the DMSII database. If you install and run Databridge under multiple usercodes, you must install a copy of DBEngine under each of those usercodes.Alternatively, you can establish DBEngine as a system library (SL).
Databridge Client	File security helps to protect Client operations by restricting access to the working directory and its files and subdirectories. Access is limited to the administrators and the system account, and to designated users (or on Windows, user groups). In Windows, you can enable file security via the option Enable File Security at installation, or by running the program setfilesecurity.exe as Administrator after installation.From the UserID box and the DBAdministrator box, specify users who can run Databridge Client and modify the working directory and its files. User IDs specified in the DBOperator box can monitor operations by reading the log files, but cannot run Databridge ClientIn UNIX, you restrict file access via the umask entry in the file globalprofile.ini. See Install Databridge Client on UNIX.
Databridge Enterprise Server	File security is automatically enabled when you install Databridge Enterprise. File security protects the configuration and log files by restricting privileges on the PC to users who need to modify the configuration.By default, any user in the Administrators group can modify the configuration files and delete the read-only log files. If you create a user group in Windows called DBEAdmins, only the users in that group will be able to alter the configuration files and delete log files. Likewise, if you create a group called DBEUsers, only the users in that group will be able to view the configuration.
