Maintaining Security

In order to maintain Security, the following system procedures have been enhanced:

Maintaining Login Security

If a user fails to log in after three consecutive attempts, the event is recorded in the maintenance log and the user is locked out of the system.

Changing IP Addresses and Names

When the 3300 ICP first boots up, it automatically detects its IP Address and the name programmed into the RTC card. The name is added to the certificate the web server will use for SSL communications. There is also the name "Mitel mn3300 web server".

If the web server is accessed by an URL not matching a DNS or local host filename in the certificate, a warning that the name in the certificate does not match the name of the site is displayed.

Click Yes in the Security Alert window. Once the 3300 ICP web server detects access by a new name, it regenerates the certificate to contain the new name for all subsequent connections. The names are stored in the webs/web/my_names.txt disk file and preserved across system reboots.

Maintaining System Security

To maintain system security while the system is unattended, leave the Attendant Console in Attendant Absent mode.

Maintaining VoIP Security
