Securing the Serial Port
When the secure serial port is enabled (recommended):
Once the secure serial port is enabled:
• The Setup Console password is required to access the Setup Console.
• An authentication challenge (username and password) is issued to access the CLI through the
serial port.
Upgrade/Downgrade Behavior
• If you are upgrading, the secure serial port functionality is unchanged by default. If you never
secured the serial port, the secure serial port functionality is disabled. If you subsequently use the
Setup Console, you are asked if you want to enable secure the serial port at that time.
• On new installations, you are asked if you want to enable the secure serial port.
• Downgrades ignore the secure serial port setting. If older systems are present on the machine, it
might be possible for an attacker to force the downgrade and then access the serial port. For
maximum security, older systems should be deleted.
SmartFilter Version 4
SGOS 4.1 uses a new database download system for SmartFilter, version 4. A license key, which was
sent to you by Secure Computing by e-mail when you ordered the database, is required to download
the new version. In the e-mail, this key is listed as the Serial Number and is in the alpha-numeric
format of: SFxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
Note: If you use SmartFilter, version 3, the user name/password assigned to you is still valid
(for version 3 only).
