CyberGuard SG Administrative Web Server

Clicking the CyberGuard SG Web Server tab takes you to the page to configure the administrative web server. This web server is responsible for running the Web Management Console.

Here you can change the port on which the server runs. Additionally, the SG550, SG570 and SG575 models support SSL encryption to establish secure connections to the Web Management Console web administration pages from SSL enabled browsers.

Note

Changing the web server port number is recommended if you are allowing Internet access to the Management Console. This will help hide the Management Console from casual web surfers who type your CyberGuard SG appliance’s Internet IP address into a web browser. Ideally, you should use Packet Filtering rules (see the Packet Filtering section later in this chapter) to restrict who has access for remote administration.
