Administering security

In BMC Server Automation, approaches to security vary, depending on which system components are communicating. The following graphic illustrates possible communication legs within a BMC Server Automation system.



See Security for different communication legs for a discussion of the security approaches that are possible with each leg and references to any implementation procedures required.

For a general description of the approaches to security that are possible with BMC Server Automation, including basic security concepts, see Security.
