2 Securing the MyID application

Important: For your production environment, you must ensure that your MyID system is secure. The latest System Security Checklist document provided with MyID provides important information about risks and recommendations for a wide variety of security considerations, and you are strongly advised to complete the checklist for your system.

The following sections include additional information about securing your system – whether you choose to implement them depends on the security requirements of your organization. Note, however, that by default MyID requires some security options that you must explicitly disable if you do not want to use them; see section 2.1, Device security settings for more information.

Note: You should carry out the additional lockdown procedures after you have installed MyID. You may experience problems if you attempt to install MyID on a system that has already been locked down.
