2.1.2. The Default Administrator Account Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance Console Boot Menu This feature is fully described in Section 2.1.6, "Secure Copy". Before NetDefendOS starts running, a console connected directly to the NetDefend Firewall's RS232 port can be used to do basic configuration through the boot menu. This menu can be entered by pressing any console key between power-up and NetDefendOS starting. It is the D-Link firmware loader that is being accessed with the boot menu. This feature is fully described in Section 2.1.7, "The Console Boot Menu". Note: Recommended browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7 and later), Firefox (version 3.0 and later) and Netscape (version 8 and later) are the recommended web-browsers to use with the WebUI. Other browsers may also provide full support. Remote Management Policies Access to remote management interfaces can be regulated by a remote management policy so the administrator can restrict management access based on source network, source interface and username/password credentials. Access to the Web Interface can be permitted for administrative users on a certain network, while at the same time allowing CLI access for a remote administrator connecting through a specific IPsec tunnel. By default, Web Interface access is enabled for users on the network connected via the LAN interface of the D-Link firewall (on products where more than one LAN interface is available, LAN1 is the default interface). 2.1.2. The Default Administrator Account By default, NetDefendOS has a local user database, AdminUsers, that contains one predefined administrator account. This account has the username admin with password admin. This account has full administrative read/write privileges for NetDefendOS. Important For security reasons, it is recommended to change the default password of the default account as soon as possible after connecting with the NetDefend Firewall. Creating Additional Accounts Extra user accounts can be created as required. Accounts can either belong to the Administrator user group, in which case they have complete read/write administrative access. Alternatively, they can belong to the Auditor user group, in which case they have read-only access. Multiple Administration Logins NetDefendOS doesn't allow more than one administrator account to be logged in at the same time. If one administrator logs in, then a second or more will be allowed to login but they will only have audit privileges. In other words the second or more administrators who login will only be able to read configurations and will not be able to change them. 2.1.3. The Web Interface 29
