Edit Security dialog
Use the Edit Security dialog to edit the security configuration on the switch. You can also open and edit a
security configuration saved to a file. Editing security files consists of renaming and removing security sets,
groups, and members. The Security dialogs are available only on a secure SSL fabric and on the entry
switch (out-of-band switch).
To open the Edit Security dialog shown in Figure 5, choose one of the following:
• Click Security in the tool bar.
• Select Security > Edit Security.
NOTE: The Security menu and button are only displayed if SSL is enabled. Select Switch > Services > SSL
to enable SSL. See ”System services” on page 73 for more information.
Use the Edit menu options or popup menu options to access Edit Security dialog options. Select a security
item in the graphic window and select an option in the Edit menu, or right-click on a security item in the
graphic window, and select an option from the popup menus.
The orphan security set contains the security groups and members that don't belong to a user-defined
security set. Excluding the orphan security set, you can only have 1 group type in a security set. The three
types of security groups are:
• ISL—Default (E_Port authentication)
• MS (Management Server CT authentication)
• Port (F_Port authentication)
