Securing the Remote Viewer

The best strategy for preventing local access abuses is to limit physical access to the CA Automation Point workstation. You can run both the CA‑AP Autostart Manager and CA AP Remote Manager services without accessing the desktop, requiring local users to use the Remote Viewer directly on the CA Automation Point workstation. To disable access to the desktop, open Configuration Manager and choose Expert Interface, Automation, Remote Viewing. On the Remote Viewing dialog, uncheck the Show AP Desktop checkbox.

Note: The Show AP Desktop check box is available only for Windows Server 2003 and earlier.
