Access Security Control
The EMX provides tools to control access. You can require HTTPS
encryption, enable the internal firewall and create firewall rules, and
create login limitations.
Tip: You can also create and install the certificate or set up external
authentication servers to control any access. See Setting Up an SSL
Certificate (on page 118) and Setting Up LDAP Authentication (on
page 123).
Forcing HTTPS Encryption
HTTPS uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all traffic
to and from the EMX device so it is a more secure protocol than HTTP.
You can force users to access the EMX web interface through the
HTTPS protocol only. By default, this protocol is enabled.
To force HTTPS access to the web interface:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Force HTTPS for Web Access.
2. A message appears, prompting you to confirm the operation. Click
Yes to enforce the HTTPS service.
3. Choose Device Settings > Security to verify the "Force HTTPS for
Web Access" checkbox is selected as shown in this diagram.
If the checkbox is not selected, repeat these steps.
After enabling the HTTPS protocol, all access attempts using HTTP are
redirected to HTTPS automatically.
