Architecture
This section provides an overview of product operation, including details about
SecureSuite XS Server, SecureSuite XS Workstation, and SecureSuite user roles.
SecureSuite XS Workstation vs. SecureSuite XS Server
SecureSuite XS Workstation: SecureSuite XS Workstation is a complete
package that can operate with or without SecureSuite XS Server installed.
SecureSuite XS Workstation provides all the user applications and authentication
software for a stand-alone workstation. It automatically detects the SecureSuite
XS Server (if installed) and then acts as a client.
SecureSuite XS Server: SecureSuite XS Server is a server application designed
to support an Active Directory domain. As in the Windows domain model,
SecureSuite XS Server provides centralized user management and authentication
services. Many of these services are also accessible from domain clients. In
addition, the standard functionality of the domain model is also supported including
user roaming and server fail-over protection.
SecureSuite User Roles
SecureSuite defines two distinct user roles that are equivalent to the
corresponding Windows user groups:
•
Administrator – Installs and maintains software on systems, manages user
accounts, manages authentication methods and associated devices, and
manages security and related policies.
•
User – A standard resource user. No special privileges or abilities.
Refer to Microsoft Windows documentation for more information on group
memberships.
