A Secure Deployment Checklist

  1. Set strong passwords for the Administrator and any other OS accounts that have any DIVArchive or DIVAdirector administrator or service roles assigned to them.

  2. Do not use a local administrator OS account but rather assign roles as needed to other user accounts.

  3. Set a strong password for the DIVAdirector Administrator user. Change the password right away from the default installed password to a strong password. You can do this from the DIVAdirector Admin, Personal settings screen.

  4. Install a firewall on the system and apply the default DIVAdirector port rules.

  5. Install OS and DIVAdirector updates on a periodic basis since they include security patches.

  6. Install antivirus and exclude the DIVAdirector processes and storage for performance reasons.
