Configuring |RTI_SP_PRODUCT_HEADING|
------------------------------------

The QoS view also allows you to configure the |RTI_SP_PRODUCT| of a |DP|'s QoS.

A new dialog appears that will guide you through configuring the |RTI_SP_PRODUCT| on the
selected |DP|'s QoSs.

First, you will be asked to add a new configuration. Click |add_sec_config_icon| 
and add the name your security configuration is going to use.

    :figwidth: 90%

Once the configuration has been added, start configuring the security
properties for your newly created configuration.

Apart from allowing you to change specific security properties associated with each
configuration, |SD| can also be used to configure security properties
that are not bound to a specific configuration. These properties can be
configured by clicking on |globals_icon|. The following dialog will open, 
allowing you to configure global properties such as Authentication and Access Control.

.. Tip::
   The dialogs shown above can be used to check whether the security configuration 
   is valid. To validate the configuration, click |validate_icon|.

EZ-Secure is an experimental feature that can automatically configure
the |RTI_SP_PRODUCT| settings. This option is disabled by default. To enable EZ-Secure,
