The installation process customizes the operating system by creating a minimal image and limiting access to as few channels as possible. Non-essential services are not installed. The CA Enterprise Log Manager server listens on a small number of ports and specifically turns off unused ports.
During the operating system installation, you create a password for the root account. After the CA Enterprise Log Manager installation is complete, the root is restricted to allow no subsequent logins. The CA Enterprise Log Manager installation creates a default user, caelmadmin that has only login capability and no other permissions.
For root level access to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server, you can access the server with this account and then switch users to the root account for use of administration tools. This means that you will need to know both the caelmadmin and root passwords to gain access to the system as a root user.
No other specific security-related software is installed with CA Enterprise Log Manager. To maintain peak performance, do not install other applications on the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
