Server Name Notes
Chapter 3: General System Tasks
Enabling and disabling servers
sidfilter The sender id filter used by sendmail verifies that the host sending or forwarding mail to
Sidewinder G2 is authorized for the domain given in the mail message. For example, if
mail from a@example.com is sent from 10.10.1.3, sidfilter verifies that 10.10.1.3 is
authorized to send mail for example.com.
snmpd Simple Network Management Protocol daemon. The SNMP server can only be enabled
for one burb, and it cannot be enabled for the Internet burb. See Chapter 15.
spamfilter This server allows you to enable anti-spam and anti-fraud mail filtering for the burbs that
you specify, as well as configure whitelists for internal and external burbs. For information
on configuring anti-spam/anti-fraud mail filter rules, see “Creating Mail (Sendmail)
Application Defenses” on page 172. For information on configuring advanced spamfilter
properties and whitelist configuration, see “Configuring advanced anti-spam and antifraud
options” on page 356.
To receive automatic updates for the spamfilter server, enable the spamfilter cron job.
See “Spamfilter cron job” on page 599 for more information.
sshd The Secure Shell daemon server. The SSHd server provides secure encrypted
communication between two hosts. See Chapter 2.
sso The Single Sign-On (SSO) server allows you to configure SSO. SSO allows users access
to multiple services with a single successful authentication to the Sidewinder G2. See
“Configuring SSO” on page 300.
Note: If you disable the SSO server, the SSO authenticated user cache will be emptied
(that is, all cached users will be removed). When the SSO server is enabled again, all
users will need to authenticate before being added back into the cache.
synchronization The synchronization server is used to synchronize configuration information among
Sidewinder G2s that are participating in a One-To-Many cluster or an HA cluster. It also
allows you to perform a configuration backup or restore to/from a remote Sidewinder G2.
See “Configuring the synchronization server” on page 68.
telnet If you disable the Telnet server, all future connections will be denied. Any users who are
currently logged in to the server will not be affected. See Chapter 2.
upsd The Uninterruptible Power Supply daemon server. See “Configuring the Sidewinder G2 to
use a UPS” on page 93 for more information.
WebProxy The Web Proxy server. See Chapter 13.
