2.1.5. Working with Configurations Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance • User Database: AdminUsers • Interface: any • Network: all-nets 5. Click OK Caution The above example is provided for informational purposes only. It is never recommended to expose any management interface to any user on the Internet. Logging out from the Web Interface When you have finished working in the web interface, you should always logout to prevent other users with access to your workstation to get unauthorized access to the system. Logout by clicking on the Logout button at the right of the menu bar. Tip If there is a problem with the management interface when communicating alongside VPN tunnels, check the main routing table and look for an all-nets route to the VPN tunnel. If no specific route exists to the management interface then all management traffic coming from NetDefendOS will automatically be routed to the VPN tunnel. If this is the case then a route should be added by the administrator to route management traffic destined for the management network to the correct interface. 2.1.5. Working with Configurations The system configuration is built up by Configuration Objects, where each object represents a configurable item of any kind. Examples of configuration objects are routing table entries, address book entries, service definitions, IP rules and so on. Each configuration object has a number of properties that constitute the values of the object. A configuration object has a well-defined type. The type defines the properties that are available for the configuration object, as well as the constraints for those properties. For instance, the IP4Address type is used for all configuration objects representing a named IPv4 address. In the web user interface the configuration objects are organized into a tree-like structure based on the type of the object. In the CLI similar configuration object types are grouped together in a category. These categories are different from the structure used in the web user interface to allow quick access to the configuration objects in the CLI. The IP4Address, IP4Group and EthernetAddress types are, for instance, grouped in a category named Address, as they all represent different addresses. Consequently, Ethernet and VLAN objects are all grouped in a category named Interface, as they are all interface objects. The categories have actually no impact on the system configuration; they are merely provided as means to simplify administration. The following examples show how to manipulate objects. Example 2.3. Listing Configuration Objects To find out what configuration objects exist, you can retrieve a listing of the objects. This example shows how to list all service objects. CLI 29
