Text save/restore
Click the Text save/restore tab.
Copy and paste the configuration files to and from a plain text file stored on a PC for
backup purposes. Click Submit and Reboot to apply any changes.
Warning
Passwords are stored unencrypted, and plain text files are prone to undetected
corruption. It is therefore preferable to use Remote backup/restore for regular backups.
Users
This section details adding administrative users, as well as local users for PPTP, L2TP or
dialin access, or access through the access control web proxy (see the Access Control
section in the chapter entitled Firewall).
Administrative users
Administrative user accounts on a CyberGuard SG appliance allow administrative duties
to be spread amongst a number of different people according to their level of competence
and trust.
Each administrative user has a password that they use to authenticate when connecting
to the web management console, or via telnet or ssh. They also have a number of
access controls that modify what they can and cannot do via the web management
console
There is one special user, root, who has the role of the final administrative user, or super
user. The access privileges for this user may not be lowered, and this user may not be
deleted or disabled. You may disallow telnet or ssh connections using the root account
however.
Select Users under the System section in the main menu. Existing users are displayed
alongside Delete, Edit, and Enable/Disable icons.
Click New to add a new user. Enter a Username (login name), an optional Description,
and enter and confirm a Password.
