Security Tab Features (Cont.)

SSL Certificate section

Allows an authorized user to select the method for SSL certificate generation and implementation on the target Master.

•A certificate can be self generated, requested, or regenerated.

•Once a certificate has been installed onto a target Master, that certificate remains there until it is either replaced or regenerated.

Security tab - Enable Security page

It is recommended that enabling the Master Security option be done after the groups, users, and passwords have been setup. If not, when the user accesses the Master from within another session, the default administrator user names and password are used for access.

The Enable Security link toggles the appearance of the NetLinx Master security options.

Security System Features

Feature	Description
Master Security Configuration	This option allows an authorized user the ability to grant/deny
	access to the security configuration commands of the on-board
	Master. Only those users with security access rights granted will
	have access to the security configuration commands.
	• These are global options that enable or disable the rights given
	to both users and groups.
	• Ex: If you want to disable Telnet Security for all users on the
	target Master, you would access this tab and uncheck the
	Telnet Access option.
Terminal (RS232) Security	This selection enables or disables Terminal Security (through the
	RS232 Program port). If Terminal Security is enabled, a user
	must have sufficient access rights to login to a Terminal session.
HTTP Access	This selection enables or disables Web Server access. If Security
	is enabled, a user must have sufficient access rights to browse
	the NetLinx Master with a Web Browser.
	• Enabling this field prompts the user (upon their return) to
	submit a valid user name and password.
Telnet Access	This selection enables or disables Telnet Security. If Telnet
	Security is enabled, a user must have sufficient access rights to
	login to a Telnet session.
Security Config Access	This selection enables or disables the ability of a group to alter
	the Security Configuration settings.
	If Security Configuration is enabled, a user/group must have suffi-
	cient access rights to access the Main Security Menu.
SSL Enable	This option allows an administrator the ability to enable or disable
	the SSL feature on the Master.
	• This field will not be enabled until after the initial
	self-generated certificate has been installed onto the
	Master. This configures the Master for secure
	communication. This security is necessary before
	installing any encrypted CA server certificates.
	• If the self-generated SSL certificate has been installed on
	the Master, the user is prompted with a Security Alert
	popup that informs them of possible conflicts between the
	Master’s certificate and those registered through the web
	browser as valid and secure. Refer to the Accessing an
	SSL-Enabled Master via an IP Address section on page 88
	for more information.
