USER’S GUIDE masterswitch vm
Authentication
Authentication versus encryption
The MasterSwitch VM controls access by providing basic authentication
through user names, passwords, and
IP addresses, but provides no type of
encryption. These basic security features are sufficient for most
environments, in which sensitive data is not being transferred.
To ensure that data and communication between the MasterSwitch VM and
the client interfaces, such as Telnet and the Web browser, cannot be
captured, you can provide a greater level of security by enabling MD5
authentication (for the Web interface).
