Security considerations

A number of files in the IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis environment contain encoded or encrypted passwords. Access to these files must be controlled either through controlling access to the file system or through access rights or file permissions. This can be achieved by limiting the groups and users that have access to these files. The files that contain this information are:

• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/UnityEIFReceiver/config/unity.conf
• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/wlp/usr/servers/Unity/ldapRegistry.xml
• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/wlp/usr/servers/Unity/unityUserRegistry.xml
• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/wlp/usr/servers/Unity/keystore/unity.ks
• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/wlp/usr/servers/Unity/keystore/unity_statistics.ks
• <HOME>/IBM/LogAnalysis/wlp/usr/servers/Unity/apps/Unity.war/WEB-INF/unitysetup.properties
