Server and data security

You can protect your company’s data by controlling access to data and ODWEK programs and the web pages.

Any user that can access your web server and the programs and web pages that interface with ODWEK can potentially access data stored in Content Manager OnDemand. Limit access to the programs and web pages to help protect the data stored in Content Manager OnDemand. There are many ways that you can limit access to programs and web pages on your web server. For example, many web servers provide a system of security to sensitive web pages to help you restrict access to directories. You can also use a password file on the web server, which requires users to enter a user ID and password before accessing the web pages. However, even though web server user IDs and passwords are similar to operating system user IDs and passwords, there is no correspondence between them. There is also no correspondence between web server user IDs and passwords and Content Manager OnDemand user IDs and passwords.

ODWEK provides access to Content Manager OnDemand servers and data. The APIs verify that the Content Manager OnDemand user ID can access the server and the requested data. Someone in your organization must administer user and data security on the Content Manager OnDemand server.
