TANDBERG MPS
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Secure Shell (SSH)
The TANDBERG MPS supports SSH (Secure
Shell) for secure access to the system.
SSH commands are encrypted and secured in
several ways. Both ends of the client/server
connection are authenticated using a digital
certificate, and passwords are protected by
being encrypted.
Secure Shell (SSH)
HTTPS
The TANDBERG MPS supports HTTPS in order
to ensure secure transmission of the informa-
tion displayed on the administrator’s PC.
A secure connection between the Web
browser and the TANDBERG MPS (the MCU
web server) will be established if the HTTPS
service on the MCU is enabled.
HTTPS allows for password exchange, which is
especially important.
Enable HTTPS using API Command
To enable HTTPS, you can use the API com-1.
mand service:
<xconfiguration HTTPS Mode: On>
Restart:2. The HTTPS service will be acti-
vated at next restart.
Enable HTTPS using Web Interface
To enable HTTPS, navigate to 1. System
Configuration > Misc > Services and set
HTTPS to On.
Press 2. Save button to save the changes.
Press 3. Restart button. The HTTPS service
will be activated at next restart.
HTTP and HTTPS Service
If both the MCUs HTTP and HTTPS services
are activated, the user will automatically be
redirected to HTTPS.
If HTTP is deactivated, you will have to specify
HTTPS. In this case
https://10.0.5.203 will work, but not
http://10.0.5.203.
HTTPS
Security Alert
The system can notify management applica-
tions when someone tries remote access over
IP with illegal password (via SNMP traps).
Information about the intruder’s IP-address
and the service used (Web, Telnet and FTP) will
be given.
When the (optional) TANDBERG Management
Suite (TMS) is used, an email notification may
also be sent e.g. to the network administrator.
