Guide to System Security

The HP OpenVMS Guide to System Security (Version 7.3-2) is a detailed reference manual for system administrators and users tasked with securing OpenVMS environments. It covers the OpenVMS security model, including the reference monitor concept, and provides practical guidelines for responsible system use, such as password management. The guide details protection of data and resources using access control lists (ACLs) and protection codes, managing system access and privileges, auditing security-relevant events, and addressing system security breaches. Additional sections offer specialized security configurations for networked and clustered environments, as well as guidance for operating in a C2-rated security environment.
