No matter how secure a system is, there is often at least one location that is vulnerable to attack: the location where users connect to the system. It is nearly impossible to protect this location completely, because the process of simply guessing a valid user name and password remains a viable way to attempt to "crack" the system.
BusinessObjects Enterprise implements several techniques to reduce the probability of a malicious user achieving access to the system. The various restrictions listed below apply only to Enterprise accounts—that is, the restrictions do not apply to accounts that you have mapped to an external user database (Windows NT, LDAP, or Windows AD). Generally, however, your external system will enable you to place similar restrictions on the external accounts.
