Security
For enhanced security, the DMM supports four network security protocols: SNMPv3, Remote Access
Dial In User Security (Radius), Secure Shell version 2 (SSH-2) and Secure File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP). You can set values and options within the DMM software that will work with the security
protocols on your network; for specific information, see the documentation for your implementation.
In addition, the DMM supports strong passwords, independent of the security protocol.
• SNMPv3 provides authentication and encryption across a network.
• The Radius server maintains user account information. At login, it authenticates the username and
password and sends a message to the DMM to allow the login. The Radius server can also be set
up to require additional authentication information before accepting the user. If the username or
password is not valid, the Radius server sends a message to the DMM to disallow the login and
reject the user. Set up the parameters for the DMM on the Radius Client Configuration screen.
• SSH-2 provides authentication and encryption for a secure remote connection that is similar to a
standard Telnet connection, but more secure. Set up the SSH access option individually for each
User Account.
• SFTP adds encryption to protect uploaded files during the file transfer process, such as for a
software update.
• In software, the Security Configuration screen provides nine options to define password
characteristics, as well as parameters that configure lockout and logout for failed access attempts.
