Establishing security rules 
Octel Unified Messenger offers several features that reduce the risk of 
fraudulent long distance charges, unintended disclosure of confidential 
information, and decreased performance of the voice servers.
Access to voice mail domain administration
Administrators create and maintain voice mail domains, and configure the 
voice servers in these domains. The Voice Mail System Configuration 
application presents a collection of property pages for performing these 
tasks. 
The OMD voice servers run under the Microsoft Windows NT operating 
system. All access to the servers is mediated by the Windows NT domain 
security mechanism.
Access to the Voice Mail System Configuration application is strictly 
controlled through the voice mail domain security feature. This enables 
administrators to maintain lists of users and groups who are authorized to 
administer the voice mail domain. For information on configuring 
security for a voice mail domain, see the Octel Unified Messenger 
Administrator’s Guide
.
Access to subscriber accounts administration
Octel Unified Messenger administrators create and configure voice mail 
accounts for subscribers. OMD has extended the Microsoft Exchange 
Administrator with the Voice Mail property page which can only be used 
by Exchange administrators.
Access to subscriber mailboxes 
Octel Unified Messenger subscribers gain access to the message server 
from a desktop PC or through the telephone user interface. Access to 
messages via the desktop PC is controlled by the security scheme 
established for Microsoft Exchange users. Access through the telephone 
user interface is controlled by a subscriber password. This password is set 
through Octel Unified Messenger Options or through the telephone user 
interface. 
The following Octel Unified Messenger features allow the administrator 
to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to the messaging server, 
messages and long distance lines.
