More than one administrator can log into the console server and have an active CLI or web manager session. All
sessions receive the following warning message when the configuration is changed by another administrator or
by the system: The appliance configuration has been altered from outside of your session. Upon receipt of this
message, each administrator needs to verify that changes made during the session were saved.
Web manager
Users and administrators can perform most tasks through the web manager (accessed with HTTP or HTTPS). The
web manager runs in Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
, Mozilla
®
Firefox®, and Apple
®
Safari
®
on any supported
computer that has network access to the console server. The list of supported client browsers and their versions
are available in the release notes.
IPv4 and IPv6 support
The console server supports dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The administrator can use the web manager or
CLI to configure support for IPv4 addresses only or for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The following list
describes the IPv6 support provided in the console server:
• DHCP
• Dial-in and dial-out sessions (PPP links)
• DSView software integration
• eth0 and eth1 Ethernet interfaces
• Firewall (IP tables)
• HTTP/HTTPs
• Linux kernel
• Remote authentication: Radius, Tacacs+, LDAP and Kerberos servers
• SNMP
• SSH and Telnet access
• Syslog server
NOTE: Remote authentication NFS, NIS and IPSec are not supported with IPv6.
Flexible users and groups
An account can be defined for each user on the console server or on an authentication server. The admin and
root users have accounts by default, and either can add and configure other user accounts. Access to ports can be
optionally restricted based on authorizations an administrator can assign to custom user groups. For more
information, see Users Accounts and User Groups on page 44.
Security
Security profiles determine which network services are enabled on the console server. Administrators can either
allow all users to access enabled ports or allow the configuration of group authorizations to restrict access. You
can also select a security profile, which defines which services (FTP, ICMP, IPSec and Telnet) are enabled and
