Purpose of Using Local Security in LAN Manager (58694)
This article was previously published under Q58694
SUMMARY
Local security is not for casual use. It should be used to protect
data on production servers from unauthorized access by people who have
physical access to these production servers.
Do not install local security on a production server without first
installing it on a test server to ensure that the usage and
implications of local security are clearly understood.
How much security is required in your situation is something you must
decide; however, it is expected that in the majority of cases local
security is more security than is needed.
Local security was added to OS/2 LAN Manager version 2.0 to meet the
specialized, more stringent security needs of what is expected to be a
small minority of OS/2 LAN Manager customers. Therefore, we expect
that for most OS/2 LAN Manager customers, the additional planning and
administration required to run local security will not be necessary.
