CHAPTER 5 77
Using F-Secure Policy Manager Console
5.2.1 Logging In
When you start F-Secure Policy Manager Console, the following dialog
box will open (click
Options to expand the dialog box to include more
options)
Figure 5-1 F-Secure Policy Manager Console Login dialog
The dialog box can be used to select defined connections. Each
connection has individual preferences, which makes it easier to manage
many servers with a single F-Secure Policy Manager Console instance.
It is also possible to define multiple connections to a single server. After
selecting the connection, enter your F-Secure Policy Manager Console
passphrase. This is the passphrase that you defined when you installed
the program. This is not your network administrator password.
You can start the program in Read-Only mode, in which case you do not
need to enter a passphrase. In this case, however, you will not be allowed
to make changes.
The setup wizard creates the initial connection, which appears by default
in the
Connections: field. To add more connections, click Add or to edit an
existing connection, click Edit (these options are available when the
dialog box is expanded).
Note that it is possible to make copies of existing connections. This
makes it easy to define multiple connections to the same server, with
slightly different connection preferences for different usages. For
example, an existing connection can be taken as a template, and different
connection preferences can be tested with the new copy without affecting
the original settings.
