Security for the ELS and ELSALM services is administered by the Access Control Service (ACS). As with other CygNet services, security is set on an application and event basis. The application name of the ELS and ELSALM services is defined in the service configuration file using the keyword ACS_APPLICATION. The default is "ELS" and "ELSALM" respectively. The security events are listed in the ELS Events table below.
The following tables provide details about ELS and ELSALM security settings. See also Security.
