Chapter 3 Managing the Barracuda Spam Firewall ■ 33

Controlling Access to the Administration Interface

This section covers the following topics:

■ Changing the Password of the Administration Account on this page.

■ Limiting Access to the Administration Interface on this page.

■ Changing the Web Interface Port and Session Expiration Length on page 34.

Changing the Password of the Administration Account

The BASIC-->Administration page lets you change the password used to access the administration

interface by entering the information requested and clicking Save Password.

Limiting Access to the Administration Interface

The Administrator IP / Range section on the BASIC-->Administration page lets you specify a range of

IP addresses from which users can access the administration interface. Users attempting to log in to the

administration interface from an unallowed IP address receive an error that their login is invalid.

Note: To add an individual IP address (as opposed to an entire network), specify a netmask of

255.255.255.255.

If you do not specify any IP addresses or networks, all systems are granted access with the correct

password.
