Security questions in DPA 6.x
We are currently planning to install DPA and have a few questions that so far EMC have not been able to answer, I was wondering if there was anyone here who might be able to!
Firstly our security team have a big concern about the need to give SSH access through certain firewalls for monitoring Data Domain; they want to know where the credential is stored (presumably in the database but not 100% sure of this) and how secure this is (plain text, encrypted etc). If there is a certificate where is it stored?
Secondly we plan to use AD for authentication but we also need to provide details about roles and groups and how they work; we currently expect to have two groups of users who will be in specific AD groups and I believe this will simply map to the role we want in DPA.
Anyone able to give some advice?
regards
David

David,
For Data Domain SSH I would recommend you create a "user" level account on the DD and use the same credential in DPA. I am going to assume here that the credentials are stored in the DPA DB. I am not sure of any kind of certificate available on DPA yet.
As for AD authentication is concerned it should work fine with what you have in mind.
