Subject: [Vantage] V 4.0 - Basic Security
Rick,
Security on the server is pretty straight forward.
* When you share the EPICOR root directory - specify "Domain Users" full on
the Share security. This will block anyone "ON" your network that has NOT
been authenticated by your NT PDC/BDC.
* For all directories within EPICOR set the security to:
* Administrators - FULL control
* Backup Operators - FULL control
* Domain Users - READ only - everyone can read the contents but NO one
cannot update or delete ANYTHING !!!
FYI - Users do not need read-write or full access to the databases.
Progress on the server updates the database - not the users.
What you are trying to avoid is the hacker on your shop floor who tries to
delete the Vantage directory.
Also, if you are just installing V 4.0 then I'd recommend the following.
* Backup your Vantage server 100 % to tape # 1
* Install Progress and patch from the original CD
* Install Vantage and patch from the original CD
* Backup Vantage to tape # 2
* Run schema changes
* Backup Vantage to tape # 3
* Install current Progress patch
* Install current Vantage patch
* Run current schema changes
* Backup Vantage to tape # 4
* THEN install your client PC's with Vantage and Progress
Also, check with Vantage tech support before you start - they may have
updated installation instructions.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Progress patches
Thanks Todd. I'm just now getting around to installing 4.0 on a test server
and was curious what I needed to do since multiple Progress patches have
come out since the install CD. So far so good installing 4.0 on the DEC
Alpha machine. I just need to wait 12 days while it converts our 900+mb
database - Yikes!
Do you happen to have the NT security settings for 4.0 and 3.0 for that
matter? I want to be sure I get permissions for 4.0 set up correctly and
will probably change 3.0 in the meantime because we had an incident last
Friday of the bm directory getting moved.
Thanks,
Rick
