Restrictions on using Standards Security with SSMC

SSMC 3.7 release has the following restrictions with Standards security compliance:
  • A single push-button mechanism to enable Standards based security compliance is not available.

  • No support or capability to perform periodic health check and alert the administrator whenever the Standards security posture falls below par or violates any of the Standards security requirements. The administrator has to ensure that the various security settings remain configured correctly post the initial setup.

  • The file_permission operation is irreversible and cannot be undone once executed.

    Before the operation, it is always recommended to take a snapshot backup of the virtual machine hosting the appliance from your hypervisor.
