OpenVMS 7.2 Security EssentialsAdded by Papergrl
Description:
The purpose of this effort is to construct a Security Essentials paper on OpenVMS 7.2 to satisfy Option 1 of the GSEC V1.4b Practical Assignment by doing the following: 1) Distill the concepts and counsel provided by the OpenVMS manual "Guide to System Security" down to a basic set of implementable practices to be followed when installing and configuring the first OpenVMS system on a network; 2) Assess strengths and weaknesses of the following aspects of an OpenVMS system: physical environment and security, a basic OS installation, objects commonly used from the Authorization Database files and facilities, default state and basic configuration of key system files and directories, Digital's ...Compaq's...HP's...whatever!) implementation of TCP/IP for OpenVMS, and additional TCP/IP-based access services, like SSH; 3) Evaluate OpenVMS as a practical and "secure-able" server OS; and 4) Provide references to additional resources to take OpenVMS beyond the essentials.
