Controlling administrative access to a FortiWiFi interface connected to the Internet
allows remote administration of the FortiWiFi unit from any location on the Internet.
However, allowing remote administration from the Internet could compromise the
security of the FortiWiFi unit. You should avoid allowing administrative access for an
interface connected to the Internet unless this is required for your configuration. To
improve the security of a FortiWiFi unit that allows remote administration from the
Internet:
• Use secure administrative user passwords,
• Change these passwords regularly,
• Enable secure administrative access to this interface using only HTTPS or SSH,
• Do not change the system idle timeout from the default value of 5 minutes (see
“To
set the system idle timeout” on page 89
).
