Security Features
The CMC provides the following security features:
• Password-level security management — Prevents unauthorized access to a remote system.
• Centralized user authentication through:
○ Active Directory using Standard Schema or an Extended Schema (optional).
○ Hardware-stored user IDs and passwords.
• Role-based authority — Enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user.
• User ID and password configuration through the web interface. Web interface supports 128-bit SSL 3.0 encryption and 40-bit SSL 3.0
encryption (for countries where 128-bit is not acceptable).
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
• Configurable IP ports (if applicable).

• Configurable session auto time out, and more than one simultaneous sessions.
• Limited IP address range for clients connecting to CMC.
• Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted layer for higher security.
