31.2 Securing the Teaming Software

31.2.1 Protecting the Teaming Configuration Files

The Novell Teaming configuration file (installer.xml) for the Teaming software should be protected from tampering. It contains username and password information for Teaming features that interact with other programs.

The initial installer.xml is created in the same directory where the Teaming Installation program is run. Backup copies are stored in:

Linux:

/opt/novell/teaming/teaming-config

Windows:

c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\teaming-config

31.2.2 Protecting the Teaming Properties File

The Novell Teaming properties file (ssf.properties) should be protected from tampering. Like the Teaming configuration file, it contains username and password information, as well as many other details about your Teaming site configuration. The Teaming properties file is located in the following directory:

Linux:

/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                                webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config

Windows:

c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                                webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes/config

31.2.3 Protecting Log Files

The log files for Teaming and Tomcat should be protected against access by unauthorized persons. Log files contain very detailed information about your Novell Teaming system and Teaming users.

The Teaming log file is available in the following directory of your Teaming installation:

Linux:

/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/logs

Windows:

c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                                         webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\logs

The Tomcat log file is available in the following directory of your Teaming installation:

Linux:

/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/logs

Windows:

c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\logs

31.2.4 Protecting the Teaming Process on Linux

On Linux, Novell Teaming is installed to run as a user other than the Linux root user. See Linux User ID for Teaming in Basic Installation in the Novell Teaming 2.1 Installation Guide.
