The TANDBERG MPS supports HTTPS in order to ensure secure transmission of the informa- tion displayed on the administrator’s PC.

A secure connection between the Web browser and the TANDBERG MPS (the MCU web server) will be established if the HTTPS service on the MCU is enabled.

HTTPS allows for password exchange, which is especially important.

Enable HTTPS using API Command

For security reasons you may want to disable some of the services provided by the TAND- BERG MPS. If wanted the following services may be disabled/enabled (either through the web-interface or with API commands):

•Telnet

•HTTP

•HTTPS

•SSH

•SNMP, may also be set to read only or traps only (only with API commands)

The TANDBERG MPS supports SSH (Secure Shell) for secure access to the system.

SSH commands are encrypted and secured in several ways. Both ends of the client/server connection are authenticated using a digital certificate, and passwords are protected by being encrypted.

The system can notify management applica- tions when someone tries remote access over IP with illegal password (via SNMP traps).

Information about the intruder’s IP-address and the service used (Web, Telnet and FTP) will be given.

When the (optional) TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) is used, an email notification may also be sent e.g. to the network administrator.

1.To enable HTTPS, you can use the API com- mand service:

<xconfiguration HTTPS Mode: On>

2.Restart: The HTTPS service will be acti- vated at next restart.

Enable HTTPS using Web Interface

1.To enable HTTPS, navigate to System Configuration > Misc > Services and set HTTPS to On.

2.Press Save button to save the changes.

3.Press Restart button. The HTTPS service will be activated at next restart.

HTTP and HTTPS Service

If both the MCUs HTTP and HTTPS services are activated, the user will automatically be redirected to HTTPS.

If HTTP is deactivated, you will have to specify HTTPS. In this case

https://10.0.5.203 will work, but not http://10.0.5.203.

Disable Services using API Commands

Disable Telnet Service

Disable HTTP Service

Disable HTTP Service

Disable SSH Service

Disable SNMP Service

<xconfiguration SNMP Mode: Off/Rea- dOnly/TrapsOnly>

Disable Services using the Web Interface

1.To disable HTTP/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH, navigate to System Configuration > Misc > Services and set HTTPS, HTTPS, Telnet or SSH to Off.

2.Press Save button to save the changes.

3.Press Restart button. The service(s) will be deactivated at next restart.
