Security

For all System Platform administrative utilities, including Platform Manager, security is configured through the IDE. By default, there is no security enabled for Platform Manager or any of the other utilities.

There are four authentication modes for security that can be enabled for Platform Manager:

• No authentication

• Galaxy authentication mode

• OS User Based authentication mode

• OS Group authentication mode

• Authentication Providers mode

When no security is enabled from the IDE, the user is automatically logged into Platform Manager as DefaultUser. Without security, the logon dialog box does not appear when Platform Manager is launched and the user is granted all permissions.

If you enable security, make sure that users are given the level of permissions that will allow them to perform all necessary operations associated with their roles.
