Security Guidelines
The following are security practices to consider:
■ Ensure that all passwords comply with security guidelines.
■ Change your passwords on a regular basis.
■ Scrutinize log files on a regular basis for any irregularities.
The practice of configuring a system to limit unauthorized access is called hardening.
There are several configuration steps that can contribute to hardening your system.
These steps are guidelines for system configuration:
■ Implement security modifications immediately after updating the Sun Fire™
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and SC application firmware, and before
configuring or installing any Sun Fire domains.
■ In general, restrict access to the SC operating system, RTOS.
■ Limit physical access to serial ports.
■ Expect to reboot, depending upon the configuration changes.
