Security

Hi! :smileyvery-happy:

While I read the user guide, I have read that to shut-down the policy manager, I have to do an access with these credentials

Username: poweroff

Password: poweroff

So i wish to know if exist another method and if i can disable the method that i explain to you.

because so if someone can reach my policy manager via ssh can shut-down it.

thanks.

According to the user guide that username and password is only available through the serial console.

cjoseph is right; that logon should not work through SSH.    

Other methods:

CLI:

system shutdown

WebUI:

- Administration --> Server Manager -->  Server Configuration --> Shutdown button 

What is the CLI to restart the device?

Hi,

If you want to shutdown all applications and reboot the server then login as appadmin user and run below command

## system restart

For initial setup perform the following steps to set up the Policy Manager appliance:
1. Connect and power on
Connect the serial port on the appliance to a terminal using the null modem cable provided, and power on the appliance. The appliance is now available for configuration.
Use the following parameters for the serial port connection:
l Bit Rate: 9600
l Data Bits: 8
l Parity: None
l Stop Bits: 1
l Flow Control: None
2. Log in
Use the following preconfigured credentials to log in to the appliance. (You can create a unique
appliance/cluster administration password later.)
login: appadmin
password: eTIPS123
This initiates the Policy Manager Configuration Wizard
