Usually the account that has full Administration rights. When a NetWare system is set up the Admin account is automatically created.

An Alias object points to another object in the Directory tree. It makes it appear that the object that it references actually exists in the part of the Directory tree where the Alias is created.

The filename given by SekChek to the set of compressed and encrypted Scan files from a NetWare system that have been encrypted using SekChek's 'Public Key Encryption'. SCK files are encrypted with SekChek’s Public Key using industry-standard algorithms, such as RSA and 3-DES. They can only be decrypted at SekChek’s premises with the corresponding non-exportable Private Key.

SCK files are created when the ‘Public Key Encryption’ option is enabled in the SekChek Client software on your PC. This is the recommended option.

The filename given by SekChek to the set of compressed and encrypted Scan files from a NetWare system.

For improved security, we recommend that you encrypt this file using SekChek's 'Public Key Encryption'. Refer to the definition of SEKNEF.SCK files for more information.
