Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Hardening the Operations Connector Platform
This section describes several configuration and setup options that can be used to harden the Operations Connector platform.
Network and system security has become increasingly important. As a third-party data integration tool, Operations Connector might have access to some system information which could be used to compromise system security if steps are not taken to secure it. You should use the configuration and setup options in this section to protect the Operations Connector platform.
Administrator user. The administrator account configured with the bsmc-conf tool. This account is required when adding an Operations Connector integration to OMi. The administrator user can access only the Operations Connector user interface and does not have access to OMi.
Local users. You can add additional users to Operations Connector with the command-line tool user. The tool creates local user accounts in the Operations Connector local user store. These users can access Operations Connector only; they cannot access OMi or other OMi applications. For more information about the user tool, see Local User Configuration Tool topic.
Single sign-on. Operations Connector also supports Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication. The default single sign-on authentication strategy for OMi is Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO). LW-SSO is embedded in OMi and does not require an external computer for authentication.
LW-SSO enables a user to log into OMi once and gain access to all OMi applications without being prompted to log in again. The applications inside OMi trust the authentication, and you do not need further authentication when moving from one application to another. For example, if you configure Operations Connector to use LW-SSO, OMi users can launch the Operations Connector user interface without having to provide additional credentials.
For more information about LW-SSO, see OMi Administration section.
Operations Connector passwords for servers accessed remotely are encrypted using a method called Triple Data Encryption Standard, or 3DES. 3DES applies the Data Encryption Algorithm on each 64-bit block of text three successive times, using either two or three different keys. As a result, unauthorized users cannot reproduce the original password in a reasonable amount of time.
Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to Access Operations Connector
Operations Connector uses SSL to encrypt communication between the server and the user interface. This requires installing a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA). For more information, see How to Prepare Operations Connector for Using SSL topic.
