ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Secure Shell (SSH)
The TANDBERG MPS supports SSH (Secure
Shell) for secure access to the system.
SSH commands are encrypted and secured in
several ways. Both ends of the client/server
connection are authenticated using a digital
certificate, and passwords are protected by
being encrypted.
Secure Shell (SSH)
HTTPS
The TANDBERG MPS supports HTTPS in order
to ensure secure transmission of the informa-
tion displayed on the administrator’s PC.
A secure connection between the Web
browser and the TANDBERG MPS (the MCU
web server) will be established if the HTTPS
service on the MCU is enabled.
HTTPS allows for password exchange, which is
especially important.

To enable HTTPS, you can use the API com- 1.

vated at next restart.

Security Alert
The system can notify management applica-
tions when someone tries remote access over
IP with illegal password (via SNMP traps).
Information about the intruder’s IP-address

When the (optional) TANDBERG Management

also be sent e.g. to the network administrator.
