Managing Security

From the Security screen, you may (optionally) configure system security hardening settings and a security banner:

• FIPS compliance

• High Security (STIG) Environment hardening settings

• Web Server security and policy settings

• Advisory Notice & Consent Banner

To configure appliance security:

1. In the side menu, click System Settings.
2. Click Security in the navigation toolbar.
   

   

3. To configure FIPS compliance, under Appliance, toggle the FIPS button to On. See the Appliance section in Security Settings.
4. To enable security hardening features for high-security environments, toggle the High Security (STIG) Environment button to On.

5. To configure security and policy settings, under Web Server, specify the HTTPS or HTTP port, SSL protocol, and SSL cipher values, as required. See the "Web Server" entry in Security Settings.

   

   Important

   Changes to port numbers take effect immediately. Changing port numbers will affect ongoing operations using the service at that port.

6. To configure a banner, type or copy in the desired banner text. Toggle the Advisory Notice button to On.
   

   

7. Click Save to save the message.

8. Click Reboot to restart the EMS server.
