HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual
Security
To prevent someone from sending messages without authority, it is
recommended that you require users to specify a password before signing
on to HP Desk. Authorized sender names and passwords can be entered in
the BRWCONF file as described earlier in this chapter. Passwords are
encrypted in the BRWCONF file to ensure that security is not compromised.
NOTE When you store the passwords in the BRWCONF file, you can maintain
or change them regularly without having to alter or recompile the
HP ALLBASE/BRW reports.
Security When You Switch Destinations
If you switch the destination on a break level, only the headings and
footings for that break and for any lower-level breaks are delivered.
This is to secure the data on these linesets. For example, if you
switched the destination on break level 3, only break levels 3 to 9 would
be delivered. Information in breaks 1 or 2 and the report breaks would
not be delivered. In the example report the report footing would not be
sent as it contains the total turnover for all areas.
Security When You Print Reports
If you deliver a report via HP Desk, the report will be delivered and not
printed (for example, on the lineprinter) unless you select to print the
report in addition on the Define HPDesk Delivery screen.
If you select to switch the destination of a report on a break level, any
higher break levels will not be delivered. However, this does not affect
your printed report. That is, if you select to print the report for
yourself, in addition to sending the report, the entire report is printed
for you.
