Changing security data externally

When security data is changed by another interface such as HTTP or Telnet, the Security

Administrator should be notified because the working data can be affected by the table’s live

update.
If the security settings for a switch or director are changed by another management interface, then

the following occurs:

•

If the switch that was changed by another interface is not currently configured by your HAFM

appliance user, the top table accepts the changes, and an event is generated in the Security

Log.

•

If the changes made by another interface affect the switch whose security data is currently being

modified by a Security Administrator, a message is displayed indicating the security settings

have been changed by an external source. The message asks you if you want to load the new

settings from the switch or keep your changes.
• Click Load New Settings—The information is displayed on the top table and configuration on

the bottom tab update. All working data is overridden by the new data in the switch.

• Click Keep Changes—The updates are made to the switch, but you can maintain the

configuration both on the top table and bottom tab. If needed, these changes can be

overridden with the current configuration.

The Authentication section has five tabs:

•

Users—Allows the Security Administrator to set up users accessing the switch from CLI and web

interfaces tab, the Security Administrator specifies whether the Telnet and HAFM Basic interfaces

are enabled, which method the switch or director uses to authenticate users, and which users are

authorized to use these interfaces.

•

Software—Allows the Security Administrator to set up software applications that can

communicate with the switch through API.

•

Device—Allows the Security Administrator to set device-to-device authentication parameters. The

Device tab is PFE key-enabled. If a proper PFE key is not provided, the Device tab is not

accessible.

•

IP Access Control—Allows the Security Administrator to set up IP addresses to manage the

switch.

•

switch can use to pass authentication information to the designated RADIUS servers.
