# Using the Security Manager

Use the Security Manager to give users the ability to connect to a management station from remote systems and configure and view the attached enclosures. You must configure at least one user name and password before any user can connect to the management station.

Note: You cannot disable security for a management station.

Use the following actions in the Security Manager to manage users' ability to configure and view network storage from remote systems:

- Add a user
- Delete a user
- Modify a user

The first time you open the Security Manager, the ServeRAID Manager prompts you to type an Admin (administrator) password. Either type a password or click Cancel to not have an Admin user.

## The Security Manager interface

The Security Manager consists of the following:

Toolbar
  Provides quick-path icons for common tasks.
Security list
  Displays the users with access to this management station.

The Security Manager logs events to a logging file, RAIDSEC.LOG. If this file exceeds 200 KB, the ServeRAID Manager copies the file to RAIDSEC.OLD and creates a new RAIDSEC.LOG. If there is a RAIDSEC.OLD already, the ServeRAID Manager overwrites it.
