A centralized system, for configuring security settings of different
processing devices via network communication, includes a display
generator, a communication processor, and a configuration processor. The
display generator initiates generation of data representing images
including one or more images supporting user selection of data items. The
data items include identifiers for identifying different processing
devices, an identifier for identifying different websites hosted by
corresponding different processing devices, and an identifier for
identifying directories of the different websites. The communication
processor establishes communication links with the different processing
devices via a network. The configuration processor employs the
communication links and the data items for initiating setting of security
properties of the directories of the different websites in response to a
user command.
