The Users tab lets you manage the users who connect to the host and the type of security used to connect. It also lets you add and delete users, view their properties, and assign permissions. Changes are applied immediately.
The Users tab is only available from the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog when the Centralized security configuration policy is set to False.
Note: For more information about remote control configuration policies, see the Configuration Policy section of the DSM Explorer Help.
This tab contains the following fields:
Specifies a security provider. Valid options are as follows:
Specifies proprietary security. This permits the host user to create accounts independent of those that may be available on the operating system. These accounts are specific to Remote Control and are not used by other applications.
Allows the host user to select existing users and groups available from the local machine, Windows domains, and CA ITCM X.509 certificates.
The list of users shown in Remote Control corresponds to the accounts either on the local computer or in an external repository. The Remote Control Unified security provider relies on the external repository itself to validate the passwords of those users when they try to connect to a remote control host. If the specified account is later deleted, Remote Control can no longer validate connections for that account since the repository will no longer know about it. Thus, the removal of an account also requires its removal from Remote Control.
Note: To set or change the master password for the security provider, click the Properties button to the right of this field.
Displays the users and groups currently assigned permissions on this host computer. Each entry in the list contains the following information:
Displays the user name for the user or group that has permission to connect to the Remote Control host.
(Optional) Defines the full name of the current user or group.
(Optional) Displays any notes related to the user or group.
This tab contains the following buttons:
Invokes the appropriate dialog for adding users based on the current security provider's type:
Invokes the Create New User dialog, which permits you to add new users to the host computer. To help ensure that your remote control environment is secure, we recommend setting a password of six to eight characters in length.
Invokes the Add Users dialog where you can select new users from existing local users and groups, Windows domain users and groups, and CA ITCM X.509 certificates.
Invokes the appropriate Properties dialog for setting or changing passwords and setting properties.
The Properties button to the right of the Current Security Provider field permits you to set or change the master password for the current security provider. Clicking this button invokes the Provider Properties dialog.
The Properties button beneath the list of users permits you to make changes to an existing user account. Clicking this button invokes the User Properties dialog. This button is available if Local is chosen as the Current Security Provider.
Invokes the Permissions of... dialog, which lets you view or edit the permission information for the user you selected in the Users dialog or on the Users tab of the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog.
Removes the user from the host.
