What to Do Next

See the “Management Access Host/Networks” section on page 32-13.

Management Access Host/Networks

The Management Access Host/Networks pane lets you specify the hosts and networks for which management access to the CSC SSM is permitted. You must specify at least one permitted host or network, up to a maximum of eight permitted hosts or networks.

To specify hosts and networks for which management access to the CSC SSM is allowed, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Choose Configuration > Trend Micro Content Security > CSC Setup > Management Access Host/Networks.

Step 2 Enter the IP address of a host or network that you want to add to the Selected Hosts/Network list. Step 3 Enter the netmask for the host or network that you specified in the IP Address field.

Note To allow all hosts and networks, enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP Address field, and choose 0.0.0.0 from the Mask list.

The Selected Hosts/Networks list displays the hosts or networks trusted for management access to the

CSC SSM.

Step 4 To add the host or network that you specified in the IP Address field in the Selected Hosts/Networks list, click Add.

The Selected Hosts/Networks table lists the IP addresses of networks and hosts whose connection to the CSC SSM you have added.

Step 5 To remove a host or network from the Selected Hosts/Networks list, choose an entry from the list and click Delete.

What to Do Next

See the “Password” section on page 32-13.

Password

The Password pane lets you change the password required for management access to the CSC SSM. The CSC SSM has a password that is maintained separately from the ASDM password. You can configure them to be identical; however, changing the CSC SSM password does not affect the ASDM password.

If ASDM is connected to the CSC SSM and you change the CSC SSM password, the connection to the CSC SSM is dropped. As a result, ASDM displays a confirmation dialog box that you must respond to before the password is changed.
