First Time Login to the Security Management
Server

Login Process

In a Locally Managed deployment, the Security Management server is included in UTM-1.
In a Centrally Managed deployment, a Security Management server to manage the UTM-1
gateway has already been installed.
Administrators connect to the Security Management server through SmartDashboard using a
process that is common to all SmartConsole clients. In this process, the administrator and the
Security Management server are authenticated, and a secure channel of communication is
negotiated.

Authenticating and Fingerprint Comparison

1. Launch SmartDashboard.
2. Enter the administrator username, password, and IP address of the Security Management
server.
Locally Managed deployment only: If a UTM-1 Cluster was configured, connect to the
Security Management server on the primary cluster member.
3. Locally Managed deployment only: Manually authenticate the Security Management server
with the Fingerprint presented. This step only takes place during first-time login, since when
the Security Management server is authenticated, the Fingerprint is saved on the
SmartConsole machine.
Compare the Fingerprint with the fingerprint which is located in the WebUI in Product
Configuration > Certificate Authority.
4. Locally Managed deployment only: If a UTM-1 Cluster option was selected in the UTM-1
Cluster page, the first-time UTM-1 Cluster wizard opens. Follow the wizard to complete the
cluster configuration before installing a security policy.

Configure and Install the Security Policy

The security policy is implemented by defining an ordered set of rules in the Firewall Rule
Base. A well-defined security policy is essential in order for UTM-1 to be an effective security
solution.
