4.3.8 If a Secure Unit Becomes Inaccessible
Spectracom assumes that you are responsible for the physical security of the product. Spec-
tracom secure products are recommended to be locked in a secure enclosure, cabinet or room.
Unauthorized persons are not to be given access to the product nor should a serial cable and
terminal program be attached unless the system administrator is configuring or performing
maintenance.
A secure SecureSync may become inaccessible if:
your company disables HTTPS
you lose the system passwords
you allow the Certificate to expire
someone deletes the Certificate and Private Keys and deletes the Host Keys
you forget the Passphrase.
To regain access to the SecureSync unit, you must utilize the front panel keypad and LCD in
order to restore the
spadmin
account’s default password.
The
spadmin
account can then be used to enable HTTPS using the “defcert” command. The
“defcert” command generates a new self-signed SSL certificate.
Refer to "Front Panel Keypad, and Display" on page4 for information on using the keypad
and LCD information display.
