Setting Up Access Controls
The ePDU provides a number of tools to control access to the unit. You can require
HTTPS encryption, enable the internal firewall and create firewall rules, and create
login limitations.
Forcing HTTPS Encryption
HTTPS is a more secure protocol than HTTP because it uses Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) technology to encrypt all traffic to and from the ePDU. To require users to use
HTTPS instead of HTTP when accessing the ePDU through the Web interface:
1.
Select
Device Settings
, and then select
Security
. The Security Settings page
displays. The panel at the upper left is labeled HTTP Encryption." See Figure 39.
Figure 39. Security Settings Page – HTTP Encryption Panel
2.
Select the
Force HTTPS for Web access
check box.
3.
Click
Apply
. HTTPS is now required for browser access.
NOTE
Attempts to access the ePDU using HTTP will be redirected back to HTTPS automatically only if the
Force HTTPS for Web access
field is selected.
Configuring the Firewall
The ePDU has a firewall that can be configured to prevent specific IP addresses and
ranges of IP addresses from accessing the ePDU. When the ePDU was initially
configured, you were prompted to enable or disable IP access control. If you selected
Disable
(the default), the ePDU firewall was not enabled.
To configure the firewall, you have to enable the firewall, and then you have to set the
default policy and create rules specifying which addresses to accept and which
addresses to drop.
NOTE
The purpose of disabling the firewall by default is to prevent users from accidentally locking
themselves out of the ePDU. See Chapter 4, Installation and Configuration," for details.
