Web Server.
Changing default user names and passwords
immediately
As soon as you complete the installation and initial configuration of the
Management Card, immediately change the default user names and
passwords. Configuring unique user names and passwords is essential to
establish basic security for your system.
Port assignments
If a Telnet, FTP, SSH/SCP or Web/SSL/TLS server uses a non-standard
port, a user must specify the port when using the client interface, such as a
Web browser. The non-standard port address becomes an extra
“password,” hiding the server to provide an additional level of security. The
TCP ports for which these servers listen are initially set at the standard “well
known ports” for the protocols. To hide the interfaces, use any port numbers
from 5000 to 32768.
Security Access Description
Available methods:
• User name and password
• Selectable server port
• Server Enable/Disable
• MD5 authentication
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
and Transport Layer
Security (TLS)
In basic HTTP authentication mode, the user name and
password are transmitted base-64 encoded (with no
encryption).
MD5 authentication mode uses a user name and
password phrase.
SSL and TLS are available on Web browsers supported
for the Network Management Card and on most Web
servers. The Web protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol
over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS) encrypts and
decrypts page requests to the Web server and pages
returned by the Web server to the user.
