Local Security Settings

The Local Security Settings window allows you to view the real time information about security settings for a Windows managed server. For every Windows server you can view security settings such as Password policy, Audit policy, User rights, and Security options.

To view the information for the Local Security Settings server object, you will need the appropriate permissions. See the SA 10.51 Administer section for information about the permissions required for the server object.

Note When you access the Local Security Settings for the first time, it may take a few minutes to load the server object. Subsequent usage of the server object will be significantly faster.

In the SA Client you can manage the Local Security Settings information by adding it to a software policy or audit.

Using the Software Management feature, you can deploy the Local Security Settings on a managed server. See "Software management" in the SA 10.51Use section for more information.

Using the Audit and Remediation feature you can specify the audit rules for the Local Security Settings and then remediate any differences found between the target server and the audit rule. See "Audit and compliance" in the SA 10.51 Administer section for more information.
