To avoid potential security threats, customers operating DIVAdirector must be concerned about authentication and authorization of the system.
These security threats can be minimized by proper configuration and by following the post-installation checklist in Appendix A, "Secure Deployment Checklist".
The critical security features that provide protections against security threats are:
Authentication - Ensures that only authorized individuals are granted access to the system and data.
Authorization - Access control to system privileges and data. This feature builds on authentication to ensure that individuals get only appropriate access.
