Administering security

There are many mechanisms available to keep your Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus system secure.

Authentication and authorization can be used to restrict user access, while the supplied utilities and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol can be used for different levels of encryption. Audit trails can be used to monitor the effectiveness of your security measures. ObjectServers, process agents, proxy servers, and ObjectServer gateways can also be run in FIPS 140–2 mode. In this mode, the cryptographic functions of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus use cryptographic modules that have been FIPS 140–2 approved.
