Security & Authentication
The WR-ZEN family incorporates several mechanisms in order to provide enhanced security to
the system. and RADIUS are integrated to enable remote authentication for network
access control through a centralized server. Additionally, the secure version of the network
protocols used in the system are implemented, e.g. SCP, HTTPS, SNMPv3, and a firewall is
included to provide a robust system against malicious users.
The details about the mentioned protocols and their configuration are described in the
subsections below.
6.1 Password Management
In order to access to the configuration and extended parameters information of the device, it is
necessary to log in to the system by using the proper credentials. The default user is root and
default password is also root (see section 0). After the first log in, it is possible to change the
password at any convenience.
If you do not update the default credentials, you will be prompted to do so for security reasons
in the GUI and CLI.
In the top right side of the web interface dashboard, there is a Settings menu where the password
can be changed.
