Configuring Remote Administrative Access - Dell 3-DNS Administrator's Manual

Configuring remote administrative access

®
3-DNS Administrator Guide
3-DNS web server configuration also requires that you define a password
for the admin user. If SSL is available, the configuration also generates
authentication certificates.
Note
If the host name portion of the FQDN is greater than 64 characters, the
3-DNS software cannot use it for the web server FQDN.
The Setup utility guides you through a series of screens to set up remote web
access.
• The first screen prompts you to select the VLAN you want to configure
for web access. After you select an interface to configure, the utility
prompts you to type a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the
interface. You can configure web access on one or more interfaces.
• After you configure the interface, the utility prompts you for a password
for the admin user account.
• After you type a password for the admin user account, you have the
option to type the IP addresses from which web-interface connections are
allowed.
• After you type the IP addresses that are allowed to access the unit with
the admin account, the certification screen prompts you for country,
state, city, company, and division.
If you ever change the IP addresses or host names on the 3-DNS interfaces,
you must reconfigure the 3-DNS web server and the portal to reflect your
new settings.
You should add users, or change passwords for existing users, only through
the Configuration utility.
If you have modified the remote web server configuration outside of the
Configuration utility, be aware that some changes may be lost when you run
the Setup utility. This utility overwrites the httpd.conf file and the
openssl.conf file.
After you configure remote web access, the Setup utility prompts you to
configure remote command line access. On most 3-DNS units, the first
screen you see is the Configure SSH screen, which prompts you to type an
IP address for SSH command line access. If SSH is not available, you are
prompted to configure access through Telnet, RSH, and FTP instead.
