Sidewinder G2 6.1.2 Administration Guide - Glossary of Technical ...

To access the trusted Telnet server, follow the steps below:
Chapter 2: Administrator’s Overview
Administering Sidewinder G2 using Telnet
1 Create a proxy rule that allows access to the Telnet server and add it to the
active rule group. See “Creating proxy rules” on page 222.
2 Enable the Telnet server as follows:
a Select Services Configuration > Servers.
b Select telnet from the list of server names.
c Select the burb(s) in which you want the Telnet server to be enabled. A
check mark appears when the server is enabled for a burb.
d Click the Save icon in the toolbar.
Important: All users accessing a Telnet server must be authenticated. If the proxy
rule that allows entry for a Telnet connection does not specify authentication, users
will not be able to log in.
To perform Sidewinder G2 administration tasks, you must have an account on
the Sidewinder G2 as described on “Setting up and maintaining administrator
accounts” on page 43. Aside from your account and authentication information,
all you need to log into the Sidewinder G2 is the name. To log into the
Sidewinder G2 using Telnet, see “Connecting to the Sidewinder G2 using
Telnet” on page 38.
Setting up an external Telnet server
The Sidewinder G2 allows you to enable an external Telnet server. An external
server resides on the external network side of the Sidewinder G2, and is
available to Internet users once you set up the appropriate “allow” proxy rules
and add them to the active rule group. (The other Telnet servers reside on the
internal side of the Sidewinder G2 and are available only to trusted users.)
Security Alert: Setting up a Telnet server on the external side of your Sidewinder
G2 can raise security issues. Contact Secure Computing Technical Support before
attempting this.
