A.3 iManager Authorized Users

Authorized Users are those that iManager permits to perform its various administrative tasks. For more information about specifying and configuring Authorized Users, see Authorized Users.

Authorized User data is stored in the configiman.properties file, which must be secured to prevent unauthorized modification. To do this, modify the access controls for configman.properties to restrict those users authorized to manually edit the file.

NOTE:Not specifying an Authorized User, which prevents the configiman.properties file from being created, or specifying an Authorized User of AllUsers, allows any user to install iManager plug-ins and modify iManager server settings. This is a security risk for server-based iManager environments.
