Managing Security
QLogic Control Suite CLI security includes local connectivity, password and
access control, Windows firewall configuration, and secure sockets layer (SSL)
data encryption.
Connectivity Options
As shown in Figure A-1 on page 167, you can connect to QLogic Control Suite CLI
using:
 A localhost connection (on the Web application server)
 A remote connection (from another computer)
For information on how to connect to QCS CLI from the local host server or from a
remote connection, see “Adding a Host” on page 18.
Password Protection for Access Control
You can password-protect a host server to prevent unauthorized changes to that
host’s installed adapters. When you do this, authorization is required to make
changes to the following on the host or any of its adapters:
 Adapter parameters
 Flash BIOS
 Adapter driver
 Port configuration
 Password (updates to the password itself)
To set up password protection on a host, you must have administrator or root
privileges on that host.
Windows Firewall Configuration
When Windows Firewall is enabled with default settings, connections between
QLogic Control Suite and remote hosts are blocked. To use Windows Firewall but
allow connections between QCS CLI and remote hosts, add the following
programs to the exceptions list in the firewall settings on both client and server
machines:
 For x64 running native x64 GUI and agents:
C:\Program Files\QLogic Corporation\portmap\portmap.exe
C:\Program Files\QLogic Corporation\QLRemote\qlnxremote.exe
 For x86 running native x86 GUI and agents:
C:\Program Files\QLogic Corporation\portmap\portmap.exe
C:\Program Files\QLogic Corporation\QLRemote\qlnxremote.exe
