The security checklist

The security checklist was introduced in BMC Client Management (BCM) 12.7 patch 2. It provides an overview of the communication security of the BCM environment.

The security checklist displays the following items and whether they are configured:

  • Using local authority–does the BCM environment use a local authority? Local authority replaces the shared certificate authority used before BCM 12.0 that might still be in use in installations that have been upgraded from versions originally installed with a version earlier than BCM 12.0. 
  • HTTPS enabled–is HTTPS communication enabled? Warns against SSL settings that permit some unencrypted communication between agents.
  • Enhanced security–is the system using enhanced security? Shows with the number of BCM agents that support enhanced security, and links to a list of those that do not. If all agents support enhanced security, it shows an Activate Enhanced Security link.  You must understand the implications of enhanced security before you enable it. See Enabling-enhanced-security for more information.
  • Using strong encryption–is the system using the strong encryption introduced with BCM 12.7, or the legacy bespoke cryptography from earlier releases?
