50.7.2 System Timeout

There is a lease timeout for administrators. The ZyWALL automatically logs you
out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period.
The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.
Each user is also forced to log in the ZyWALL for authentication again when the
reauthentication time expires.
You can change the timeout settings in the User/Group screens.

50.7.3 HTTPS

You can set the ZyWALL to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTPS adds security) for Web
Configurator sessions. Specify which zones allow Web Configurator access and
from which IP address the access can come.
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL)
is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by
ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data),
authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you
know if data has been changed).
