Security Profiles’ Effects on Users’ Actions
When the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager is being managed without DSView 3 management
software, the administrator needs to select a security profile based on the security requirements of
the organization.
NOTE: All of the features and procedures described in this guide work when the Moderate security profile is
in effect.
Service Other Functions That May Be Allowed/Disallowed
FTP N/A
HTTP, HTTPS Redirect HTTP automatically to HTTPS
ICMP N/A
IPSec N/A
PPTP N/A
RPC N/A
SNMP v1, v2c, v3 N/A
SSH v1, SSH v2 Allow root login using SSH
Assign an alternate port to SSH
Telnet Allow Telnet to MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager
Services may also be turned on and off independently from the security profile. For more details,
see the MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager Installer and Administrator Guide.
In addition to turning services on and off, an administrator may select the security profile option to
override authorizations, which enables access based on authentication only.
NOTE: If you are prevented from using a service you need to use, such as FTP or SNMP, talk with the
administrator to find out if the service can be enabled or if another way of performing a necessary task is
available that is consistent with your site’s security policies.
