security desktop administration

[majipoor]

I'd like some precisions or white paper about security in "Peregrine Automation desktop administration" software.

The key capabilities on

in not descriptive: "Through implementation of an integrated management database, an extensive set of customizable security features provides an extremely secure environment for all remote communications beginning with log-on and continuing throughout the entire connection."

Thanks

This product crypts most communications using a asymetric/symetric key negociation (RSA/triple-DES algorithms in this case) - however, the private part of the key is shared among managers. For remote control, an additionnal password may be used.

It is possible to limit what a person can do (with either automation workflows or remote control) using detailed rights depending of the login used and/or the target computer.
