Customized Operating System Image

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 User Activity Reporting Module 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 User Activity Reporting Module installation is complete, the root is restricted to allow no subsequent logins. The CA User Activity Reporting Module installation creates a default user, caelmadmin that has only login capability and no other permissions.

For root level access to the CA User Activity Reporting Module 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 User Activity Reporting Module. To maintain peak performance, do not install other applications on the CA User Activity Reporting Module server.
