Using the Web Manager : Selecting or Configuring a Security Profile

Selecting or Configuring a Security Profile
When an administrative user selects the Config-Security profile menu option, a screen appears that identifies the name of the security profile currently in effect. For more details about the services and features configured by default security profiles and what you can change in a custom profile, see OnBoard Appliance Security Profiles.
The note at the bottom of the security profile configuration screen is a reminder that putting another security profile into effect could disable or enable services that may have been turned on or off by some other means.
An administrative user can use the Config-Security profile screen to select one of the default security profiles or configure a custom security profile for the OnBoard appliance.
See Chapter 4 for the features in the Moderate security profile, the features in the Secured security profile and the features in the Open security profile.
The Moderate profile is the default option selected on the Security level menu.
After the administrative user chooses a preconfigured security profile or creates a custom profile and clicks OK, the red Unsaved changes button blinks, and the Security Profile screen reappears showing the newly-selected security profile’s name.
NOTE: If you select the secured profile, HTTP is disabled by the secured security profile. Follow the reminder at the bottom of the screen by making sure to notify all users that they must use HTTPS when bringing up the Web Manager.
