RSM provides various levels of security as described in the previous sections. In addition to the access permissions, versions post 1.50 also provide IP based security. To limit which machines can be used to access RSM, you can add a list of IP addresses to the security record. This becomes the definitive list of client machines that are permitted to access RSM, using the selected username. If you do not wish to limit access by an IP address; that is, you wish to be able to access RSM with the chosen username from any client machine, do not add any IP address to the security record.
The Security Record View displays the attributes associated with the selected username. From here you can modify the security record, this takes you to the Modify Record page. You can also delete the entire security record, or add/delete an IP address to/from the access list.
RSM releases post 1.50 also provide limited retries; although Netscape will continually cycle through re-enteringpasswords until the user selects cancel. If any password request is failed three times or more and the security record is set to IP based security, the appropriate username is locked for a period of one hour. An Admin user can reset this at any time by checking the locked IP addresss check box and selecting the Reset IP Address action. IP addresses that are locked are shown in red. If a check box is not selected, all locked IP addresses are reset.
