Security overview

The Gateway includes a security mechanism through which the system administrator defines

users and assigns each user a username, password, and a privilege level. The user’s privilege

level determines which commands the user can perform.

In addition to its basic security mechanism, the Gateway supports secure data transfer via SSH

and SCP.

The Gateway can be configured to work with an external RADIUS server to provide user

authentication. When RADIUS authentication is enabled on the Gateway, the RADIUS server

operates in conjunction with the Gateway security mechanism. When the user enters a

username, the Gateway first searches its own database for the username. If the Gateway does

not find the username in its own database, it establishes a connection with the RADIUS server,

and the RADIUS server provides the necessary authentication services.
