Configuring Nokia Secure Access System

This section covers all the configuration steps that you need to perform to successfully use the
Nokia Secure Access System.

Authenticating the admin User

You can configure the gateway to authenticate the Nokia Secure Access System administrator
either by using the same authentication scheme that the Nokia IPSO operating system for the
appliance uses, or by using the gateway's configured authentication methods of the gateway. For
instance, the administrator can sign on to the gateway by using a client certificate, or by using a
password recognized by a RADIUS or NIS server.
You can specify which scheme to use to authenticate the gateway administrator by setting the
General properties on the admin user account.
To configure the admin authentication scheme
1. From the configuration menu, choose User Configuration > Users.
The Manage Users page opens.
2. Click the username of the admin user.
The General Properties for the admin user page opens.
3. Choose one of the options for Admin User Authentication:

• Port-forwarding—tunnel TCP and UDP traffic through the
gateway, including support for Microsoft Exchange and
other mail and groupware services.
