Chapter 6. Basic Conﬁguration

You also select what kind of authentication will be performed for the users trying to access

the administration interfaces.

To further increase security, the Telecommuting Module can only be conﬁgured from one

or a few computers that are accessed from one of these interfaces. Enter the IP address or

addresses that can conﬁgure the Telecommuting Module. The IP addresses can belong to one

or more computers. For each IP address or interval of addresses, select which conﬁguration

protocols are allowed.

Conﬁguration Allowed Via Interface

This setting speciﬁes whether conﬁguration trafﬁc is allowed via this interface. If you only

allow conﬁguration via eth1, conﬁguration trafﬁc will only be allowed from computers con-

nected to the eth1 interface, regardless of which IP address the conﬁguration trafﬁc is di-

rected to or which IP addresses the computers have.

The choices for each interface are On and Off. This conﬁguration is a complement to the

Conﬁguration Computers setting below.

User Authentication For Web Interface Access

Select the mode of administrator authentication for logins via the web interface: Local users,

via a RADIUS database, or a choice between the two alternatives at login (Local users or

RADIUS database).

Local administrator users and their passwords are deﬁned on the User Administration page

under Administration. If the authentication should be made by help of a RADIUS server,

you must enter one on the RADIUS page.

When connecting to the administration interface via SSH, you can only log in as admin.

Conﬁguration Transport

Select Telecommuting Module IP addresses for the allowed conﬁguration protocols. The

Telecommuting Module web server will listen for web trafﬁc on the IP addresses and ports

selected under HTTP and HTTPS.
