Turning Security On/Off

Software security can have one of two default positions:

Default Deny

Under these conditions, everything not explicitly permitted, is forbidden. While it may improve security, it does so at a cost in functionality.

Default Permit

Everything is permitted. The advantage of this kind of security operation is that it allows greater functionality, and it may be adequate for the initial phases of setting up and testing the system.

By default the CA RCM Portal’s security parameter is set as disabled. This means that when a user logs in, using a recognized user name, the CA RCM Portal will not check the user’s permissions: no limits will be placed on what is visible to the user. The user can see all the menus and menu options and the user can activate and use them all.

The security parameter located in the eurekify.properties file is:

sage.security.disable=true

When this property is set to =False, the system shifts to the Default Deny position and only what is explicitly permitted will be visible and enabled for the user.
