On the General tab
(
25. Figure 36), enter information for the following fields:
o Policy Name: A unique alphanumeric identifier for the personal firewall policy.
o User Control: Whether the user will have control to allow or deny network
connections requested by applications. Possible values are <Allow> and <Deny>.
o Hotelling Scenario — Unsecured Connectivity Duration: First timeout used in
the Captive Portal Management algorithm, which regulates open access to the
Internet during the negotiation of local access credentials with an access point
provider. The timeout, expressed in seconds, defines the extension of the time
window during which the end user can negotiate the access credentials with
the access point provider, in a connectivity scenario that is not secured by the
inclusion of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG Gateway in the data path.
o Hotelling Scenario: Re-activation Wait Period: Second timeout used in the
Captive Portal Management algorithm, which regulates open access to the
Internet during the negotiation of local access credentials with an access point
provider. The timeout, expressed in seconds, defines the extension of the
blackout interval between consecutive attempts to obtain access credentials
from the access point provider. The blackout interval prevents the end user
from causing continuous exposure of the laptop to external attacks with
lengthy credential negotiation procedures.
