Configuring additional security settings

You can configure additional security settings, including certificates and user-account security settings.

Procedure

To configure additional security settings, complete one or more of the following steps:

Lenovo SDI Management Platform uses SSL certificates to establish secure and trusted communications with resource managers (such as Lenovo XClarity Administrator) and users. By default, Lenovo SDI Management Platform and the resource managers use self-signed certificates generated by Lenovo SDI Management Platform and issued by an internal certificate authority (CA).
You can choose to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for signing by an external certificate authority, such as your organization’s certificate authority or a third-party certificate authority (see Installing an externally-signed Lenovo SDI Management Platform server certificate).
You can import trusted certificates for external services into the Lenovo SDI Management Platform truststore to establish a secure connection with resource managers and event forwarders, such as Splunk (see Adding a trusted certificate for external services).
You can import trusted certificates for internal services into the Lenovo SDI Management Platform truststore to establish a secure connection with resource managers (see Adding a trusted certificate for internal services).
Configure the security settings including password complexity, account lockout, and web session inactivity time-out settings. For more information about these settings, see Configuring user security settings.

Continue initial setup by going to Setting up event-data forwarding.
