Security Configuration

This section provides information for increasing the security of the following products:

  • NNMi
  • NNM iSPIs
  • Network Performance Server (NPS)

The information in this document applies to NNMi 10.30. For security configuration for another version of the product, see the appropriate documentation for that version.

Unless otherwise specified within a procedure, the expected use model for the content in this document is as follows:

  1. Stop all NNMi services (see Start, Stop, or Restart All NNMi Services).
  2. Apply the desired configurations as described in this document.

    Note Remember to back up each configuration file to a location outside the NNMi directory structure before making any changes.

  3. Start all NNMi services (see Start, Stop, or Restart All NNMi Services).

Note In an NNMi global network management (GNM), application failover, or high availability environment, work on one NNMi management server at a time. That is, on one NNMi management server, stop the NNMi services, apply changes, and then start the NNMi services on that NNMi management server. Exceptions to this approach are noted where applicable.

Note the following conventions used in this document:

  • Some file paths include a <PRODUCT> directory. Replace <PRODUCT> with the value for the specific product you are configuring. Possible values are:

    • nnm
    • qa
    • traffic-master
    • traffic-leaf
    • ipt
    • mcast
    • mpls
  • For NNMi and the Network Node Manager i Software Smart Plug-ins (iSPIs), any configuration specified in the server.properties file overrides the default configuration. This file is located as follows:

    • Windows:

      %NnmDataDir%\nmsas\<PRODUCT>\server.properties

    • Linux:

      /var/opt/OV/nmsas/<PRODUCT>/server.properties

  • For the Network Performance Server (NPS), any configuration specified in the NNMPerformanceSPI.cfg file overrides the default configuration. This file is located as follows:

    • Windows:

      %NnmDataDir%\NNMPerformanceSPI\rconfig\NNMPerformanceSPI.cfg

    • Linux:

      /var/opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/rconfig/NNMPerformanceSPI.cfg
