Establishing security rules

Octel Unified Messenger offers several features that reduce the risk of
fraudulent long distance charges, unintended disclosure of confidential
information, and decreased performance of the voice servers.

Access to voice mail domain administration

Administrators create and maintain voice mail domains, and configure the
voice servers in these domains. The Voice Mail System Configuration
application presents a collection of property pages for performing these
tasks.

The OMD voice servers run under the Microsoft Windows NT operating
system. All access to the servers is mediated by the Windows NT domain
security mechanism.

Access to the Voice Mail System Configuration application is strictly
controlled through the voice mail domain security feature. This enables
administrators to maintain lists of users and groups who are authorized to
administer the voice mail domain. For information on configuring
security for a voice mail domain, see the Octel Unified Messenger
Administrator’s Guide
.

Access to subscriber accounts administration

Octel Unified Messenger administrators create and configure voice mail
accounts for subscribers. OMD has extended the Microsoft Exchange
Administrator with the Voice Mail property page which can only be used
by Exchange administrators.

Access to subscriber mailboxes

Octel Unified Messenger subscribers gain access to the message server
from a desktop PC or through the telephone user interface. Access to
messages via the desktop PC is controlled by the security scheme
established for Microsoft Exchange users. Access through the telephone
user interface is controlled by a subscriber password. This password is set
through Octel Unified Messenger Options or through the telephone user
interface.

The following Octel Unified Messenger features allow the administrator
to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to the messaging server,
messages and long distance lines.
