HTTPS Management of the SonicWALL
To enhance the security of the TELE3 SP,
HTTPS Management
using Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) is supported when you log into the SonicWALL using https://IP Address where the IP
address is the SonicWALL LAN IP address. For example, if the LAN IP address of your
SonicWALL appliance is 192.168.168.1, you can log in using HTTPS by entering
<https://192.168.168.1>. Access is encrypted using SSL technology for a secure connection.
HTTPS Management
allows secure access to the SonicWALL without a VPN client. It is a
simple and secure way to manage your SonicWALL from both the LAN and the WAN.
