2.5.2 Implementing an action as a result of administrator instructions

The following describes how an administrator can implement an action manually.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Implementing an action from the Client Security Management window of AIM

(2) Implementing an action by the network control command (cscnetctrl)

(3) Implementing actions by the action command (cscaction)

(1) Implementing an action from the Client Security Management window of AIM

Using the Client Security Management window of AIM, an administrator can execute an action on a specified client. For example if a client exists whose security level is judged as Danger, but no security measures have been implemented, the administrator can send a warning message to the client, or deny the client a network connection.

The following figure shows actions implemented by an administrator.

Figure 2-10 Actions implemented by an administrator

(2) Implementing an action by the network control command (cscnetctrl)

By issuing the network control command (cscnetctrl) from a remote system, an administrator can permit or immediately deny client connection to the network. For example, if the remote system detects that the client is infected with a virus, the administrator can immediately stop that client from accessing the network. This immediate denial by using the network control command (cscnetctrl) takes precedence over other actions.

To clear an immediate denial, the administrator must explicitly grant access using either the network control command (cscnetctrl) or the Client Security Management window. Network connection permission as the result of a subsequent security level judgment does not clear an immediate denial already in force.

A remote management server must be set up to enable linkage with the remote system.

The following figure shows an action implemented by the network control command (cscnetctrl).

Figure 2-11 Implementing an action by the network control command (cscnetctrl)

For details about the network control command (cscnetctrl), see cscnetctrl (controls network connections) in 15. Commands.

(3) Implementing actions by the action command (cscaction)

By issuing the action command (cscaction) from a management server, an administrator can implement actions appropriate for the result of the latest security level judgment.

The administrator can use the cscaction command to implement actions when the security levels have already been judged by using the functionality that allows the judgment of security level and the implementation of actions to be performed separately, or to implement actions again for specific clients.

The following figure shows how actions are implemented by the action command (cscaction).

Figure 2-12 Implementing actions by the action command (cscaction)

For details about the action command (cscaction), see cscaction (implements actions for a specified client) in 15. Commands.
