DMA Operations Guide Allow Unencrypted Connections to the Enterprise Directory Allow Unencrypted Connections to MCUs Table 9-5 Fields in the Security Configuration screen (continued) Column Description Normally, the DMA system connects to an enterprise directory using SSL or TLS encryption. But if the directory server hasn’t been configured to support encryption, the DMA system can only connect using an unencrypted protocol. This option allows such a connection if an encrypted connection can’t be established. This configuration causes an extreme security flaw: the unencrypted passwords of enterprise users are transmitted over the network, where they can be easily intercepted. Use this option only for diagnostic purposes. By toggling it, you can determine whether encryption is the cause of a failure to connect to an enterprise directory. If so, the solution is to correctly configure the directory, not to allow ongoing use of unencrypted connections. In maximum security mode, the Polycom DMA system uses only HTTPS for the conference control connection to RMX MCUs, and therefore can’t control an RMX MCU that accepts only HTTP (the default). This option enables the system to fall back to HTTP for RMX MCUs not configured for HTTPS. We recommend configuring your MCUs to accept encrypted connections rather than enabling this option. When unencrypted connections are used, the RMX login name and password are sent unencrypted over the network. To change the security configuration 1 Go to System Setup > Management and Security > Security Configuration. 2 To switch from a custom setting back to the recommended security mode, click Maximum Security. 3 To switch from the recommended security mode to a custom setting: a Click Custom Security. b Check the unsecured network access method(s) that you want to enable. 4 Click Update. A dialog box informs you that the configuration has been updated. 5 Click OK. Temporarily enabling console (SSH) access is supported for the purpose of changing the root password. Contact Polycom Global Services for the default root password and then change that password immediately on both nodes as described below. 9–10 Polycom, Inc.
System Security To change the default root password 1 Enable console (SSH) access as described above. 2 Call Polycom Global Services to get the default root password. Only root can remotely log into the system. 3 Point your SSH client to the physical IP address of Node 1 and log in as root. 4 Enter the passwd command and when prompted, enter the new password twice. 5 Repeat the preceding two steps for Node 2. 6 Return the system to the recommended maximum security mode as described above.
