Security Supplement to Installation

This chapter contains NetWare® Enhanced Security information that supplements the NetWare 4.11 NetWare 4 Installation manual. NetWare 4 Installation, along with the warnings and other supplementary information in this chapter, describes the installation of a Network Trusted Computing Base (NTCB) partition for a NetWare Enhanced Security server.

As mentioned in Server NTCB Partition the server NTCB partition includes all hardware, firmware, and software responsible for enforcing the server component's security policies. For the server, all software is TCB software; there is no non-TCB software loaded on the server.

The tasks that are permitted for a trusted network include the installation of a new NetWare Enhanced Security server (hardware, software, and configuration data) and the upgrade of an existing NetWare Enhanced Security server to a newer release.

Depending upon the size of the organization and facility, these tasks may be performed by a NetWare administrator or by an installation engineer. In either case, the individual(s) must be trusted to follow the organization's security policies.
