Internet access (via access controls)
A user with this access control is permitted controlled access to the web through the
CyberGuard SG appliance’s web proxy. See the Access control and content filtering
section in the chapter entitled Firewall for details on controlling LAN users’ web access.
Password
The CyberGuard SG appliance’s administrative (root) password is used to restrict access
to the Web Management Console web administration pages (Web Admin) and the
CyberGuard SG appliance itself. The CyberGuard SG appliance administrative
password is the ‘key’ to the security of your network and must be kept secret. It is
recommended that you choose a password that is easy for you to remember but hard for
unauthorized people to guess.
A potential security issue may be introduced by having a network-connected CyberGuard
SG appliance accessible, using the factory default password. To prevent this, the
password for the CyberGuard SG appliance should be changed when Setup Wizard is
run or the Web Management Console web administration pages are accessed for the first
time.
The CyberGuard SG appliance administrative password can be changed at any time using the
Web Management Console web administration pages by clicking Password in the System
menu.
Note
The username is root. The factory default CyberGuard SG appliance administrative
password is default.
