Security system values are used to control security on your system.
These values are broken into four groups:
- General security system values
- Other system values related to security
- System values that control passwords
- System values that control auditing
Deciding which security system values you should use for your business can be perplexing. If you are new to security implementation on servers, or the environment in which you run your server has recently changed, the Security Wizard can help you with decisions.
After you enter your system values, you need to apply some of these values. Most changes to system values take effect immediately. However, when you change the security level on your system, the change does not take effect until you stop your system and start it again. After you verify that you typed all the values on the Change System Options display correctly, you are ready to apply the new values.
Note: Attach your workstations to the system, if you have not already done so. When you start the system, it automatically configures those devices using the naming format you chose on the Change System Options display.
Use the following procedure to stop your system and start it again. When your system starts, the values you entered on the Change System Options display take effect.
- Make sure you have signed on at the console and that no other workstations are signed on.
- Make sure that the keylock switch on the processor unit is in the Normal position.
- From the SETUP menu, select the option for Power On and Off Tasks.
- Select the option to power off the system immediately and then power on.
- Press the Enter key. The system shows a display that requests you to confirm your power-down request.
- Press F16, Confirm. This causes the system to stop and then start again automatically.
Your display goes blank for a few minutes. Then you should see the Sign On display again. After you apply your new system values, you must create a security officer profile for yourself on the system.
