Configuring HTTPS

Linked Diagram TemplateLinked Diagram Template

You can enable UTM-1 appliance users to access the UTM-1 Portal from the Internet. To do so, you must first configure HTTPS.

Note: Configuring HTTPS is equivalent to creating a simple Allow rule, where the destination is This Gateway. To create more complex rules for HTTPS, such as allowing HTTPS connections from multiple IP address ranges, define Allow rules for TCP port 443, with the destination This Gateway. For information, see Using Rules.

To configure HTTPS

  1. Click Setup in the main menu, and click the Management tab.

    The Management page appears.

  2. Specify from where HTTPS access to the UTM-1 Portal should be granted.

    See Access Options for information.

    Warning: If remote HTTPS is enabled, your UTM-1 appliance settings can be changed remotely, so it is especially important to make sure all UTM-1 appliance users' passwords are difficult to guess.

    Note: You can use HTTPS to access the UTM-1 Portal from your internal network, by surfing to https://my.firewall.

    If you selected Internal Networks + IP Range, additional fields appear.

  3. If you selected Internal Networks + IP Range, enter the desired IP address range in the fields provided.
  4. Click Apply.

    The HTTPS configuration is saved. If you configured remote HTTPS, you can now access the UTM-1 Portal through the Internet, using the procedure Accessing the UTM-1 Portal Remotely.
