Frequently Asked Questions

  • General
  • Configuration
  • Emailing
  • Networking
  • Security
  • What’s included in an Asset Guardian concurrent license?

    In addition to the Asset Guardian server license, MS SQL Server 2008 Express is included.

    If you want to use a different database server - such as MS SQL Server Standard or above, Oracle or other -  licenses for these are not included and must be purchased separately.

  • What is the recommended standard server configuration?

    Network:

    • 100+ Mbit symmetric
    • Unlimited traffic/month

    Security:

    • Daily backups
    • Optional SSL Certificate (128bit) - only if https is required
    • Virus Scanning

    Database:

    • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (or newer)

    Other:

    • Java Runtime Environment 1.6+ (aka Java 6)
    • Depending on the size of files which will be stored, the total hard disk capacity can vary from 500GB (for storage of files mainly <50MB) to 1+TB (for storage of files mainly >50MB) for period of, at least, 10 years.
  • Does Asset Guardian work with Lotus Notes Email?

    Asset Guardian does not automatically import email from Lotus Notes as it does for Outlook. However, it is possible. Users simply export their email as text files and log these files in Asset Guardian as Correspondence. The records created will reflect the preview of the email, just as it does for Outlook email.

  • How is data protected and what mechanisms are in place to prevent malicious or accidental access to this data?

    Asset Guardian provides two types of security:

    Hardware security: 

    Its architecture makes it possible to host data under a highly restricted network, while the application server is open to insecure networks, such as the Internet.

    Software security:

    The software has a full range of features in the solution that prevent intrusions. The solution code is not stored on the application server, but in the database. Any code sent to the client is compiled (i.e. unreadable). A login and password are required to access AG. Passwords are stored encrypted in the database, and never displayed decrypted.

    To prevent against brute force attacks, a feature allows a set number of login attempts before the account is locked. Communications between clients and the application server can be encrypted using the SSL protocol.

  • What are the recommended back-up processes and procedures?

    It is critical to backup all SQL databases onto the file server, and then backup the file server. This should be done every day. To save space and time, we recommend to carry out incremental backups during the week, followed by one full backup every week.

  • Secure connections (SSL): how is this achieved and what does it provide?

    Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications over networks such as the Internet. It encrypts the data sent between the clients and the server. 

    AG can combine it with a Public-Key Certificate, which essentially allows the client to check to ensure that he connects to the correct web server (AG application server) using a third-party Certificate Authority. This is called Server Authentication. Once the server authenticated, the encrypted communication can begin.
