Additional requirements for Veritas Advanced Supervision

IIS setting for processes on a single server

The default value 1 for the Maximum Worker Processes setting of Application Pool of the SupervisionWeb web application must not be changed so that Veritas Advanced Supervision functions properly while authenticating users.

About Security Certificates

Compliance Accelerator generates self-signed certificates for Veritas Advanced Supervision web application during configuration time to ensure all endpoints are encrypted. It is encouraged to replace these with certificates signed by well-known authorities. For details, see the following article for details on how Enterprise Vault configures an SSL Certificate.

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/85434533-129299639-0/index

If you are accessing Veritas Advanced Supervision from a computer other than your Compliance Accelerator server, you need to import the certificate on that computer and add it to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. You also need to configure HTTPS.

Disabling unsafe cryptographic protocols and cipher suites

It is recommended to disable unsafe cryptographic protocols and cipher suites on the server to let users access Veritas Advanced Supervision without exposing your proxy server.

When a client device uses HTTPS to connect to Veritas Advanced Supervision on a proxy server, the client and server negotiate a common cryptographic protocol to secure the channel. If the client and server have multiple protocols in common, Internet Information Services (IIS) tries to secure the channel with one of the protocols that IIS supports. However, some protocols are stronger than others; to maximize the security of your environment, you may therefore want to disable the weak protocols in favor of stronger, Veritas-approved alternatives.

You can comply with Veritas recommendations by configuring the cryptographic protocols and cipher suites on your proxy server as follows:

  • Enable the TLS 1.2 protocols.

  • Disable the TLS 1.0 and 1.1, SSL 2.0 and 3.0 protocols.

  • Disable the RC2, RC4, and DES cipher suites.

The following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base provides guidelines on how to implement these changes:
