1.Encryption Settings

1a. Force HTTPS

If this option is enabled, access to the Web front end is possible using a HTTPS connection only. The RIPM will not “listen” through the HTTP port for incoming connections. In the event that you want to create your own SSL certificate that can be used to identify the RIPM, please refer to the “Certificate” section on page 58.

1b. KVM Encryption

This option controls the encryption of the Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol. The Remote Console uses RFB to transmit the screen data to the administrator machine, and keyboard/mouse data back to the host. If set to “Off”, no encryption is used. If set to “Try”, the applet attempts to make an encrypted connection. If the connection cannot be established, an unencrypted connection is used instead. If set to “Force”, the applet attempts to make an encrypted connection. If the connection fails, the system generates an error report.

2.IP-Access Control

This section explains the settings related to IP-access control. It is used to limit access to a number of distinguished clients. These clients will be identified by the IP addresses from which they are trying to build connections.

Warning: The IP access control settings apply to the LAN interface only.

2a. Enable IP-Access Control

Enables access control based on IP source addresses.

2b. Default Policy

This option controls what to do with arriving IP packets that do not match any of the configured rules. They can be accepted or dropped.

Warning: If you set this to “DROP” and you have no “ACCEPT” rules configured, access to the Web front end over LAN is impossible.

To re-enable access, you can change the security settings via modem or by temporarily disabling IP-access control with the initial configuration procedure.

2c. Rule Number

This should contain the number of a rule for which the following commands will apply. In case of appending a new rule, ignore this field.
