This table describes the function of buttons that appear at the bottom of the policies tabs:

Description

Button

Updates the display.

[ Refresh ]

Sets all fields to their factory-default settings. To enforce the new settings, you must
click [ Apply ] and restart NDCS services as described in the steps preceding this
table.

CAUTION:

Because using the [ Load Default ] button requires restarting NDCS

services, HP recommends that Security Administrators notify all users in advance
that policy changes will occur. Users should be instructed to disconnect from the
Neoview platform before the policy changes are made. After changing the policies,
the Security Administrator should notify all users that they can reconnect to the
Neoview platform.

[ Load Default ]

Sets all fields to values that provide the highest security. To enforce the new settings,
you must click [ Apply ] and restart NDCS services as described in the steps preceding
this table.

CAUTION:

Because using the [ Load Most Secure ] button requires restarting NDCS

services, HP recommends that Security Administrators notify all users in advance
that policy changes will occur. Users should be instructed to disconnect from the
Neoview platform before the policy changes are made. After changing the policies,
the Security Administrator should notify all users that they can reconnect to the
Neoview platform.

[ Load Most Secure ]

Saves changes made to all tabs. [ Apply ] allows you to make changes to different
tabs and save all changes in one operation.

Use the Certificate & Connection Tab for Security Policies

The Certificate & Connection tab for security policies controls password encryption and
certificate handling. These policies apply to any user who logs on to the Neoview platform from
a workstation running ODBC or JDBC clients.

This table shows reference information for the Certificate & Connection tab for security policies:

Description

Option

Specifies whether the certificate is automatically downloaded if not already present
when a client connects. See

“About the Auto Download Certificate Option” (page 129)

.

Auto Download Certificate

Specifies whether the certificate ever expires. When checked, this option means that if
a workstation connects with an expired certificate, the certificate must be replaced, either
by automatic download or by some other means.
