3 – Configuration 25
On Macintosh computers, GTA does not recommend using Microsoft
Internet Explorer for Macintosh (Mac IE 5). OpenSSL encryption, used by
the firewall, is known to be incompatible with Mac IE 5, and your browser
will not allow you to continue past the security alert screen. If you must use
Mac IE 5, install the firewall using a compatible browser, GBAdmin or the
console and disable SSL before using Mac IE 5. Mac IE 5 can only be used
with SSL encryption disabled.
Caution
Administration of the firewall without SSL is insecure and may send
sensitive information such as passwords in clear text, and is not
recommended if you have a hub or other network device between
your computer and the firewall appliance.
Configuration Using a Web Browser
1) Start a web browser on your computer and enter the firewall’s URL
into the browser’s location/address field: https://192.168.71.254.
2) If your network and cables are set up correctly, you will be prompted
with a security alert dialog indicating that the certificate authority is
not one you have chosen to trust; that the security certificate date is
valid; and that the name on the security certificate does not match
the name of the site.
Accepting the Firewall’s SSL Certificate
Select
YES
, or if your alert differs, choose the selection that allows
you to proceed. (You may establish your firewall SSL certificate
once you have logged on to the firewall.)
3) Next, in the login screen, enter the default user ID, "gnatbox" (all
lower case). Then enter the default password, also "gnatbox" (all
lower case). Select
OK
or press the
RETURN
key when finished.
