Security reference
This chapter explains features SyncThru™ Admin 5 provides for security.
This chapter includes:
•
•
•
•
SSL communication (HTTPS)
SSL (RFC5246) stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication on the
network. If you enable SSL, all the data from your browser to SyncThru™ Admin 5 server is encrypted.
Related parts are as follows:
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security > Web
Server Configuration.
User authentication
For controlling access to the SyncThru™ Admin 5 server itself, an authentication feature is provided. If you enable
authentication, only registered users can open SyncThru™ Admin 5. SyncThru™ Admin 5 requires a login id and
password.
In addition, the registered users have different roles, which include permissions for SyncThru™ Admin 5 operations.
Related parts are as follows:
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > User Management > User Accounts.
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > User Management > User Roles.
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > HTTP Security >
Authentication.
SNMPv3
You can configure the security settings for the devices which support SNMPv3 security (RFC2571). These devices will not
report any status information until you set up the security configuration. The SNMPv3 protocol encrypts the information
being sent between SyncThru™ Admin 5 and the devices.
Related parts are as follows:
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Devices menu > Device List > Connection Settings > SNMPv3 Setting.
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > Device Management > Connection Settings.
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > Device Management > Unconfigured Devices.
User credentials
The embedded web servers of the Samsung devices support user credentials for security (You can see the setting in SWS,
SyncThru Web Service: Maintenance > Security). If the security option is enabled, you need to configure user credentials
for SyncThru™ Admin 5 because some features of SyncThru™ Admin 5 use HTTP protocol. That means only an
Administrator of the SWS can do the jobs from SyncThru™ Admin 5 if the security of the device is enabled.
Related parts are as follows:
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Devices menu > Group/List > Devices > Device List > Connection Settings
button.
•
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > Device Management > Connection Settings.
