XpoLog
security is based on a standard called JAAS. It enables you to
control and manage almost everything in the system for each user
or group of users.
The security section in the help will go over the entities and
main features of the mechanism. |
|
To activate the security
mechanism Select "Settings" from the menu and then click "General". Check the "Activate security"
checkbox and save the configuration.
You will see the login page - the default user name is admin
and the default password is admin.
Once logged in you will see more
entries in the sliding menu which includes Security option. |
|
The
authentication procedures are trivial. Once a user is added to the
system by using the add user option in the Users view.
On login the user will be asked for user name and password.
Time out will occur according to the
session life period which can also be modified in the settings
view. As long as the browser window is open on XpoLog the session
will not be terminated.

Authorization is the general name for the mechanism which you use in
order to allow or block operations to specific users and/or
groups of users.
Each User is related to a group, and each group has a permission
policy for operations. A policy is a set of permissions for
operation in XpoLog such as changing the general settings, editing
the configuration and so on. A user's list of permissions will be
determine according to the the policy he is related to. |
|
After you
have defined policies you can define groups that will use those
policies. XpoLog is initialized to contain two permanent groups. "All" which
represents all entities in the system, and "Administrators" which
represent all users that have super user permissions.
Once you have
defined the policies and groups it is possible to add users to the
system and associate them to the different groups.
The security
help section contains explanations on how to define users, groups, policies,
and how to specifically set a monitor's, application's, folder's and log's permissions. |
