Default Host Security Settings

The following PROXY Pro Host security settings are set by default for Windows authentication:

u Service Security: The local machine’s Administrators group and the default PROXY Pro Gateway domain user account (RemoteControlGateway) have full access to all the PROXY Pro services. Also, any new accounts created on Gateways known to the Host will have full access.

u Admin Security:

w The local machine’s Administrators group and the default PROXY Pro Gateway domain user account have full access to all administrative rights for this PROXY Pro Host.

w The Interactive group only has rights to Connect for Admin on Local Machine and View Host Status.

u Settings Security: The local machine’s Administrators group and the default PROXY Pro Gateway domain user account have full access rights to all administrative settings for this PROXY Pro Host.

With these default settings, any other PROXY Pro Master user that connects to this Host will be limited to just the Status tab of the PROXY Pro Host Control Panel (the other tabs will be hidden). These PROXY Pro Master users have no other rights with respect to viewing or modifying other PROXY Pro Host settings. The default settings allow for easy configuration of Gateway-managed connections. Use the default user account RemoteControlGateway or any new account created on the Gateway to access configuration options on the Host. If neither of these options is used, a new user account name must be created and configured for full access rights in PROXY Pro Host. It is recommended that the user account name not be a member of any group. This strategy keeps the account isolated in case it ever becomes compromised.

The following authentication methods are available:

u “Simple password configuration”

u “Windows authentication configuration”

u “Shared secret password authentication”

u “End-to-end authentication”
