2-7 System Security Operations
Device Manager can be deployed securely in a variety of operational environments, including private LAN,
virtual private network (VPN), corporate intranet, and even public internet. The security features for Device
Manager communications (between Web Client and the server, for example) can be customized for your
operational environment.
Device Manager provides an end-to-end security context between the user and Device Manager server which
prevents message tampering and provides privacy, user authentication, and nonrepudiation. Messages
between Device Manager Web Client and the Device Manager server are secured when the server is running
in security mode 2 (SSL/TSL). For information about the server.properties setting, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration
Guide. The Common Component Single Sign-On feature (see section
1-3
) maintains user authentication
across Command View XP AE Suite software.
Device Manager also provides an audit log of all operations and allows you to combine and archive the audit
logs for historical analysis. The Common Component integrated logging feature (see section
1-3
) provides a
common log repository for the various logs of the Command View XP AE Suite software.

XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
