22 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
• Select a Security Profile, which defines:
• Enabled services (FTP, ICMP, IPSec and Telnet)
• SSH and HTTP/HTTPS access
The administrator can select either a preconfigured Security Profile or create a custom profile.
All the services and the SSH and HTTP/HTTPS configuration options that are enabled and disabled
for each Security Profile are shown in the Wizard - Security and the System - Security - Security
Profile pages.
To configure the Security Profile:
1. Select System - Security - Security Profile.
2. In the Idle Timeout field, enter the number of seconds before the console server times out open
sessions.
NOTE: This value applies to any user session to the appliance via HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet or CONSOLE
port. The new idle time-out will be applied to new sessions only.
3. Under the Enabled Services section, enable or disable the RCP checkbox.
4. Under the Serial Devices heading, enable or disable the Port access is controlled by
authorizations assigned to user groups checkbox.
5. Select the checkbox for Custom, Moderate, Open or Secure under the Security Profile heading.
6. Click Save.
You can also configure DSView 3 software security settings. When the console server is managed
by the DSView 3 software, the DSView 3 server will supply the certificate to the console server.
Under normal conditions, the DSView 3 software will manage the certificate to clear and replace it
with a new certificate as needed. If communication with the DSView 3 software is lost, the
DSView server will be unable to clear the certificate and the console server cannot be used. Click
the Clear DSView Certificate button to configure the console server in Trust All mode.
To configure DSView 3 software security settings:
1. Select System - Security - DSView.
2. Click the Allow appliance to be managed by DSView checkbox and click Save.
Date and Time
The ACS 6000 console server provides two options for setting the date and time. It can retrieve the
date and time from a network time protocol (NTP) server, or you can set the date and time
manually so that the console server’s internal clock is used to provide time and date information.
NOTE: The Current Time displayed in the Date & Time screen shows only the time when the screen was
opened. It does not continue to update in real time.
