Chapter 6 : Security 110 Deleting Firewall Rules W hen any firewall rules bec om e obsolete or unnecessar y, remove them from the rules list. To delete a firew all rule: 1. Choose Device Settin gs > Security > IP Access Control. The Configure IP Access Control Settings dialo g appears.
Chapter 6 : Security 111 3. To enable the user b locking feature, select t he "Block user on login failure" check box. 4. T y pe a num ber in the "Maxim um number of failed logins" field. T his is the maxim um number of failed logins the user is per m itted before the user's login is bloc ked from accessing the EMX device.
Chapter 6 : Security 112 Tip: If the desired time option is not listed, you can manually type the desired time in this f ield. For example, you can typ e "4 min" to set the time to 4 minu tes. 5. Click OK to save the cha nges. Tip: Keep the idle timeo ut to 20 minutes or less if possible.
Chapter 6 : Security 113 Enabling Password Aging Password Aging determ ines whether us ers are required to ch ange passwords at regular in tervals. The default inter val is 60 da ys. To force users to chan ge passwords regul arly: 1. Choose Device Settin gs > Security > Passwor d Policy.
Chapter 6 : Security 114 2. To enable the IPv4 f irewall, click the IP v4 tab, and s elect the Enable Role Based Acces s Control for IPv4 check box. 3. To enable the IPv6 f irewall, click the IPv6 tab, and select the Enable Role Based Acces s Control for IPv6 check box.
Chapter 6 : Security 115 Creating Role-Based Access Control Rules Role-based acces s control rules accept or drop traffic, based on the user's role and IP address . Like f irewall rules, the order of r ules is important, since the ru les are executed in num erical order.
Chapter 6 : Security 116 Action Do this... T y pe an ending IP ad dress in the Ending IP Address field. Select a role from the drop- down list in the Role f ield. This rule applies to m embers of this role onl y. Select Allow or Den y from the drop-down list in th e Policy field.
Chapter 6 : Security 117 Sorting Role-Based Access Control Rules Similar to firewall rules , the order of role -based access control rules determines which one of the rules m atching the sam e IP address is performed. To sort role-based access control rules: 1.
Chapter 6 : Security 118 Setting Up an SSL Certificate Having an X.509 digita l certificate ensures that both pa rties in an SSL connection are who th ey say they are. To obtain a certif icate for the EMX , create a Cert ificate Signing Requ est (CSR) and subm it it to a certificate author ity (CA).
Chapter 6 : Security 119 Field Type this informatio n Organization The registered nam e of your compan y. Organizational Unit The nam e of your department. Comm on Name The fully qualified dom ain nam e (FQDN) of your EMX device. Email Address An email address where you or another ad m inistrative user can be reached.
Chapter 6 : Security 120 Installing a CA-Signed Certificate After the CA provides a signed certificate acc ording to the C SR you submitted, you m ust install it on the EMX de vice. To install the certific ate: 1. Choose Device Settin gs > Security > SSL Cert ificate.
Chapter 6 : Security 121 Field Type this informatio n Key Length Select the ke y length (bits) from the drop-down l ist in this field. A larger key length enh ances the securit y, but slows down the EMX device's response. Self Sign Ensure this checkbox is selected, w hich indicates that you are creating a self- signed certificate.
Chapter 6 : Security 122 Installing Existing Ke y and Certific ate Files If the SSL certificate a nd private ke y files are already availabl e, you can install them directl y without going through th e process of creating a CSR or a self-signed certif icate.
Chapter 6 : Security 123 Setting Up LDAP Authentication For security purposes , users attem pting to log in to the EMX must be authenticated. T he EMX supports the acces s using one of the fol lowing .
Chapter 6 : Security 124 If using a Microsoft Active Directory server, c onsult yo ur AD administrator for the name of the Act ive Directory Domain.
Chapter 6 : Security 125 8. SSL Port - T he default is 636. Either use the default port or specif y another port. This f ield is enabled when th e "LDAP over SSL" checkbox is s elected.

Chapter 6 : Security 127 Sorting the LD AP Access Order The order of the LDA P list determ ines the access prio rity of r emote LDAP/LDAPS ser vers. The EMX first tries to access the top LDAP/LDAPS se.
Chapter 6 : Security 128 5. Click OK to save the cha nges. Deleting the LD AP Server Settings You can delete the auth entication settings of a specific LDA P/LDAPS server when the serv er is not availa ble or used for r emote authentication. To remove on e or multiple LD AP/LDAPS servers: 1.
