Selecting appropriate security settings

The SmartView World IP section provides a flexible approach to security that allows you to determine an overall level of cover that suits your requirements. There are four main parts to the Security Settings panel:

Force HTTPS – Select this option to compel remote IP users to use the secure version of http with 128-bit strong encryption.

KVM encryption – Select the ‘Try’ or ‘Force’ options to use encrypted screen, keyboard and mouse data. The former option will resort to normal mode if encryption is not possible, the latter will produce an error message.

TELNET settings – The use of Telnet can induce security loop holes that could be employed by potential hackers. For higher security, you are recommended to leave Telnet disabled.

IP Access Control – This option allows you to limit access to distinguished number of remote users by listing particular IP addresses that you wish to accept. This option provides good security but is really only viable for a relatively small number of IP users who will always use the same systems for access.

For the highest possible security level, select the following:

Force HTTPS – On

KVM Encryption – Force

TELNET Settings – Disabled

IP Access Control – Configure for all users

To select security settings

1Within the SmartView World home page, select the ‘Security Settings’ option in the ‘Administration’ section. The User Management panel will be displayed.

2Make the appropriate settings. See the Security Settings in Appendix 2 for more details.

3Click the ‘Apply’ button. The settings will be saved, the panel updated and a message displayed at the top of the panel to confirm the operation.

Note: To improve security still further, ensure that all user passwords are at least eight characters long and that they include a mixture of upper and lower case letters, as well as numerals.
