Local Security Solution 7.1 SP2 MP1 is being made available via downloadable product listing

Introduction

Local Security Solution provides centralized management that quickly and easily provisions and manages local administrative users and groups within your environment. Local Security Solution's automated policy enforcement of group membership and randomization of administrative passwords across systems secures the corporate network from malicious attacks on the organization's information assets.

For example, using Local Security Solution, you can retrieve local user and group inventory and generate compliance reports that show you all of the security discrepancies in your system. You can also prevent users from making configuration changes or from interfering with system security features.

For a summary presentation on the changes, see Arellia 7.1 Service Pack 1 Presentation .

Requirements

Arellia Local Security Solution requires Notification Server 7.1 SP1 as a minimum platform.

The recommended system requirements vary depending on the size of the environment. The size of the environment also affects how you configure the platform.

  • How to Disable the Clean up File Resources Task

    Technical Impact

    The Software Management "Clean up File Resources" task, deletes File Resources that are not associated with functionality delivered with SMP Software Management.  In particular it deletes File Resources that do not have a Resource Asssociation.  This ignores the situation where relationships are modelled through Inventory Data Classes (Dataclass Foreign Key Associations).  Arellia products have modelled these relationships in the same manner since the introduction of the File Resource with Application Control 6.0.
    If this task schedule is not deleted, most File Resources discovered through Local Security Soloution and Application Control Solution will be deleted at 2:10 am every day.  These resources will re-discovered based upon inventory cycles, and will subsequently be once again deleted.

Licensing

Changes have been made to how Arellia licenses it products.
