36.7.2 System Timeout

There is a lease timeout for administrators. The ZyWALL/USG 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/USG for authentication again when the
reauthentication time expires.
You can change the timeout settings in the User/Group screens.

36.7.3 HTTPS

You can set the ZyWALL/USG 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).
It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys.
HTTPS on the ZyWALL/USG is used so that you can securely access the ZyWALL/USG using the Web
Configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the HTTPS server (the ZyWALL/USG) must always
authenticate itself to the HTTPS client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the
ZyWALL/USG), whereas the HTTPS client only should authenticate itself when the HTTPS server
requires it to do so (select Authenticate Client Certificates in the WWW screen). Authenticate
Client Certificates is optional and if selected means the HTTPS client must send the ZyWALL/USG
a certificate. You must apply for a certificate for the browser from a CA that is a trusted CA on the
ZyWALL/USG.
Please refer to the following figure.
HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the
1
ZyWALL/USG's web server.
HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the ZyWALL/USG's web
2
server.
