Server Config – Access Control Service
2.1 General
For proper operation, both components of the Barracuda NG Network Access Clients framework,
Access Control Service and Baracuda NG Network Access Client that is, depend on up-to-date
information regarding AV and AS products.
Barracuda Networks provides an online updating service that helps the Access Control Service
verifying the up-to-dateness of the client’s signature databases. In addition this information helps the
client to recognize and activate AV and AS products.
Barracuda NG Firewall includes an automatic software downloader which periodically connects to the
Barracuda Networks website. To reduce the need for permanent internet connection for Barracuda NG
Firewalls the Barracuda Networks update service behaves differently on stand-alone-managed boxes
and CC-administered boxes. Internet access using an HTTP/HTTPS proxy server is possible.
Stand-alone-managed boxes running a Access Control Service require
internet access. For configuration parameters see 2.2.6 General, page 21.
CC-administered boxes running an Access Control Service get the required
files uploaded from the Barracuda NG Control Center. The CC itself requires
internet access to secure.phion.com:443.
