Securing the Connect Daemon

To secure the Connect daemon, assign machine access and administrator privileges to the daemon. Administrator privileges allow a user to start or stop the daemon. Machine access privileges determine if a user ID and password are required to use the daemon. You must also assign access and administrator privileges to the daemon workspace. These privileges determine the users that can use and administer the workspace.

To secure the Connect daemon:

  1. In the Connect Studio Configuration explorer, expand the ODM Server list, the Daemons list, and the IRPCD list to display the Navigator member.
  2. Right-click the Navigator member and select Open to open the daemon configuration editor.
  3. Select the Security tab.
  4. In the Server Account section, clear the Allow anonymous clients to use this workspace check box.
  5. Authorize workspace users.
    1. In the Authorized Workspace Users section, select Selected users only.
    2. Click Add user to open the Add User dialog. (To add a group, click Add group.)
    3. Type the user ID or group name that will have user privileges for the workspace.
    4. Click OK.
  6. Authorize administrators.
    1. In the Authorized Administrators section, select Selected users only.
    2. Click Add user to open the Add User dialog. (To add a group, click Add group).
    3. Type the user ID or group name that will have administrative privileges for the daemon.
    4. Click OK.
  7. From the File menu, select Save All.
