Security Policy

In order for a user to connect to a Wall Control-red server, the server must be listening on at least one port. These ports have a
potential vulnerability. If your server is working in a secure environment, you probably don’t need to worry about unauthorised
access to the ports. If your Wall Control-red server is on a network that is generally accessible, you will probably want to restrict
access to the ports.

By default, Wall Control-red will require that users who connect to a port on the Wall Control-red server provide a user name
and a password. The user name and password must correspond to an account on the Wall Control-red server or if the Wall
Control-red server is participating in a domain, an account on the domain.

To access the Wall Control-red Administrator dialogue select:

Start/All Programs/Wall Control-red/ Wall Control-red Administrator

Note: To use the administrative dialogue you must be a member of the Administrator Group.

Use the dialogue to select the level of security you require, if, as stated above, your Wall Control-red server is working in a
secure environment then you may wish to allow network connections without the need to authenticate.

If the Wall Control-red server is on a generally accessible network then you may wish to select the

Use Windows user

accounts to authenticate connections

option.

Once Network Access has been determined, click on

OK

and re-boot for the changes to be applied.

You must be a member of the Administrator group to run the Wall Control-red Administrator program.
