During initial configuration, the console server administrator must configure security parameters
to conform with the site security policy. The following security features can be configured
either in the web manager, CLI or the DSView 3 software:

• Enable or disable RPC
• Allow all users to access enabled ports or allow the configuration of group authorizations
to restrict access
• Select a Security Profile, which defines:
• Enabled services (FTP, ICMP, IPSec and Telnet)
• SSH and HTTP/HTTPS access
The administrator can select either a preconfigured Security Profile or create a custom profile.
All the services and the SSH and HTTP/HTTPS configuration options that are enabled and
disabled for each Security Profile are shown in the Wizard - Security and the System - Security
- Security Profile pages.
To configure a Security Profile:
1. Select System - Security - Security Profile.
