Configuring User Privileges

To configure user privileges, follow these steps:

1.With Steel Belted RADIUS Administrator open, click Users and select the User to configure. Or select a profile to be configured from the Profile Name menu.

2.Click Ins and select SonicWALL-User-Privilege from the Available Attributes list.

3.Select the privilege to be set, and click Add. Repeat until all of the privileges are added for the user.

Steel Belted RADIUS does support CHAP, so authentication takes place even if HTTPS is not available when logging into the SonicWALL management interface. Select Allow PAP or CHAP when setting user passwords.

ACE Server (RSA)

The ACE Server, version 4.1, from RSA, configures RADIUS attributes into the profiles. It does not support pre-configuration of vendor-specific attributes on the server. It also only allows one vendor- specific attribute to be set per profile, and only support vendor-specific attributes containing ASCII text. User privileges are added manually using the following instructions:

1.Open the ACE Server Database Administrator program.

2.Select Edit Profiles from the menu, and select the profile to be configured with user privileges. Click OK.

3.From the Available Attributes menu, select Vendor-Specific, and then click Add Attribute... .

4.Set the value to 8741 2 “privileges-list” where privileges list is a comma-separated list of 2- letter privileges, as follows:

RA - Remote Access BF - Bypass Filters

VC - Access from VPN Client

VA - Access to VPNs

LM - Limited Management

For example, to configure a profile with Access to VPN privileges and allow Access from VPN Client, the value is set as follows:

8714 2 “VA, VC”

The ACE Server from RSA does not support CHAP with RADIUS, therefore it is necessary to configure the SonicWALL to use HTTPS when logging into the SonicWALL management interface.

Internet Security Appliances specifications

SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances are pivotal solutions aimed at safeguarding networks from an ever-evolving array of cyber threats. Designed for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprises, these appliances deliver robust security and high-performance capabilities.

One of the main features of SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances is their Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionality. This integrated approach allows organizations to manage multiple security measures, including firewall protection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and antivirus capabilities, within a single device. This consolidation simplifies security management and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities from disparate systems.

Another significant technology found in these appliances is Application Control. This feature enables administrators to monitor and regulate the applications and services used within their networks, ensuring that bandwidth is allocated efficiently, and potentially harmful applications are blocked. Coupled with Content Filtering, SonicWALL offers granular policies to restrict access to inappropriate or non-work-related content, enhancing overall productivity while maintaining security.

SonicWALL appliances also utilize advanced cybersecurity technologies like SonicWall Capture Threat Assessment and Capture Advanced Threat Protection. These solutions leverage artificial intelligence to identify and remove sophisticated malware and ransomware threats before they infiltrate the network. This proactive approach ensures that only safe email and web traffic is allowed through, providing comprehensive protection against advanced persistent threats.

Moreover, SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) enables centralized control over multiple security devices, making it easy for IT teams to maintain a consistent security posture across various locations. This capability is especially beneficial for organizations with distributed networks, as it provides real-time visibility into network activity and security incidents.

The appliances are also designed with scalability in mind. Whether an organization grows or needs to adjust its security policies, SonicWALL appliances can be updated, expanded, or modified without significant disruptions. This flexibility makes them a long-term investment for any business focused on network security.

In addition, SonicWALL's user-friendly interface simplifies the deployment and management processes. With intuitive dashboards and reporting tools, administrators can easily track security events, analyze network traffic patterns, and respond swiftly to potential threats.

In summary, SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances combine essential features like Unified Threat Management, Application Control, and advanced threat protection technologies into a cohesive security solution. Their scalability, centralized management capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces make them an excellent choice for businesses aiming to strengthen their cyber defenses in a complex digital landscape.
