Change appliance network settings

Change appliance network settings

You can change the appliance network settings to meet the needs of your environment any time after the initial configuration.

For virtual and physical versions of the appliance, network settings are initially configured during the first login to the Administrator Console or the Command Line Console. See Change appliance network settings.

For K1 as a Service, the appliance is preconfigured with a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For configuration information, see the KACE as a Service Setup Guide. Go to https://support.quest.com/k1000-as-a-service/release-notes-guides.

Changing the majority of appliance network settings requires that you reboot the appliance. Total reboot downtime is one to two minutes, provided that the changes result in a valid configuration.

* 
TIP: Testing an external SMTP server does not require the appliance reboot. You can test the SMTP configuration before saving your changes.

Enable the appliance to compress web pages. This compression reduces the time it takes to load Administrator Console and User Console pages in the browser.

Enable SNMP READ access

Enable unidirectional (read-only) SNMP access to managed devices on the network through port 199 using SMUX, an SNMP multiplexing protocol. See Verify port settings.

SNMP Community String

The SNMP community string that enables read-only SNMP access. The default value is public.

Enable SNMP Trap monitoring

Enable SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a protocol for monitoring managed devices on a network. SNMP is supported by Dell Open Manage and many third-party products. If you do not want to receive SNMP traps from network devices, clear this option.

When you enable this feature on the appliance, and the related devices are also enabled for monitoring, the appliance can receive SNMP traps from the monitored network devices such as printers, projectors, and routers. This feature only applies to network devices managed through the SNMP-managed devices, such as agentless devices using SNMP connections.

For information on how to enable device monitoring, see Enable monitoring for one or more devices.

SNMP traps are messages initiated by network devices and sent to the trap receiver on the appliance. For example, a router can send a message when its power supply fails. Or, a printer initiates a message when it runs out of paper. The appliance receives these traps and generates alerts when certain pre-defined thresholds are reached.

•
SNMP version 1 or 2: This version only requires a valid community string. A community string is required to allow the appliance to receive SNMP trap messages from monitored network devices. The appliance supports multiple security strings. To add a community string, open the v1/v2 tab, click , type the community string, and click Save.
•
SNMP version 3: This version implements enhanced security and remote configuration features and requires a valid user name and encryption information. To add a security name, open the v3 tab, click , and provide the following information:
◦
Security Name: The name of the User-based Security Model (USM) account that sends the SNMP trap.
◦
Engine ID: The ID of the SNMP application engine that sends the SNMP trap.
◦
Authentication Password: The password associated with the Security Name.
◦
Authentication Protocol: The protocol used for authenticating the user: MD5 or SHA.
◦
Privacy Password: The encryption key for the data packet.
◦
Privacy Protocol: The encryption protocol: AES or DES.
◦
Security Level: Indicates the level of security:
▪
authPriv: The identity of the sender is verified and the information is encrypted.
▪
authNoPriv: The identity of the sender is verified, but the information is not.
▪
noAuthNoPriv: The identity of the sender is not verified and the information is not encrypted.

MIB Files

Upload vendor-specific MIB (management information base) files. A MIB file allows the trap receiver on the appliance to translate SNMP traps into human-readable messages. These files are optional.

•
To upload a MIB file, on the Security Settings page, under MIB Files, in the Upload MIB area, click Browse, and select a MIB file.
•
A MIB file must meet certain standards. The appliance validates every MIB file that you upload. If you upload an invalid MIB file, an error message appears along the top of the Security Settings page. If you do not want to validate the contents of the MIB file, select the Skip MIB validation check box.

Enable Secure backup files

Require username and password authentication for access to appliance backup files, which are available by entering a URL in a browser.

Clear this option to enable access to backup files through a URL without username or password authentication. This is useful for external process that require access. See About appliance backups.

Enable backup via FTP

Enable access to the database backup files through a read-only FTP server. This enables you to create a process on another server to access the backup files.

If you do not need this access, clear this option.

Make FTP writable

Enable the upload of backup files using FTP. FTP is useful for backup files that are too large for the default HTTP mechanism and cause browser timeouts.

New FTP user password

Require a password for FTP access to the backup files.

Enable mDNS

Enable the appliance to respond to multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) requests. This option makes it easier for users and administrators to locate the Administrator Console and User Console. If you do not need the appliance to respond to these requests, clear this option.

Enable Munin access

Enable the appliance to view server usage and metrics over time.

* 
NOTE: This allows unrestricted, unauthenticated access to /munin.

Enable database access

Enable users to run reports on the appliance database using an external tool, such as Microsoft Access or Excel, over port 3306. If you do not need to expose the database in this way, clear this option.

* 
NOTE: The appliance database can be accessed from any ODBC-compliant third-party tool if you have installed the (32bit) MySQL ODBC driver. You must select this check box if you want to use this feature. In addition, you will need to configure a data source for your MySQL ODBC driver, and provide the appliance connection information. For more information, refer to your MySQL ODBC driver documentation.

Enable secure database access (SSL)

Enable SSL access to the database and access additional SSL options.

Enable remote syslog

Enable the appliance to send limited server log data to a remote Syslog server.

* 
NOTE: Log data sent this way is unencrypted and uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol). Before selecting this option, review your organization's guidelines about security and network saturation.

Remote Syslog Server

Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address and the port number of the remote Syslog server. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. If you do not provide a port number, the appliance uses 514 (UDP), the default port number for Syslog traffic.

4.
In the Two-Factor Authentication section, configure the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) feature. 2FA provides stronger security for users logging into the appliance by adding an extra step to the login process. It relies on the Google Authenticator app to generate verification codes. The app generates a new six-digit code at regular intervals. When enabled, end users will be prompted for the current verification code each time they log in.
* 
NOTE: If you enable this feature, ensure that appliance server's clock is accurate, as well as the device running Google Authenticator. Google Authenticator relies on current time to create the token. If server's clock is not synchronized with those of the devices running Google Authenticator, token validation may fail, which may result in account lockouts.
a.
Specify the following options. They appear listed in the order of precedence, as you enable them from top to bottom. For example you can only enable 2FA for the User Console if you have previously configured 2FA for the Administrator Console.
▪
Enable Two-Factor Authentication for the System Portal: Select this check box if you want to use 2FA for the System Administration Console. To enable 2FA for all users, select Required for all Users.
* 
NOTE: This option is only available on appliances with multiple organizations.
▪
Enable Two-Factor Authentication for the Admin Portal: This option only appears if you enabled 2FA for the System Administration Console, or if your appliance has only one organization. Select this check box if you want to use 2FA for the Administrator Console. Next, specify the users that will require 2FA during login by selecting one of the following options:
▪
Required for all Users: Appliances with one organization only. To enable 2FA for all users, select this option.
▪
Defined by Organization: Appliances with multiple organizations only. Apply the same 2FA configuration to all users in each Organization in the Administrator Console, as applicable.
▪
Required for all Users: Appliances with multiple organizations only. Enable 2FA for all users in the Administrator Console.
▪
Not required: Appliances with multiple organizations only. Disable 2FA for all users in the Administrator Console.
▪
Enable Two-Factor Authentication for the User Portal: This option only appears if you enabled 2FA for the Administrator Console. Select this check box if you want to use 2FA for the User Console. Next, specify the users that will require 2FA during login by selecting one of the following options:
▪
Defined by Organization: Apply the same 2FA configuration to all users in each Organization in the User Console, as applicable.
▪
Required for all Users: Enable 2FA for all users in the User Console.
▪
Not required: Disable 2FA for all users in the User Console.
b.
Under Transition Window, specify the amount of time during which users who require 2FA will be able to bypass the 2FA configuration step.
For example, if a user forgets their phone at home and is therefore unable to generate a new code, they can still access the portal during the period of time specified here.
5.
Use the settings in the Brute Force Prevention area to prevent multiple consecutive attacks from obtaining access to the appliance using false credentials. You can configure the number of failed authentication attempts within a specified time frame, after which the appliance prevents any logins for that user.
The default setting is three attempts during a five-minute period. You can change these values, as needed.
When the appliance disables a user account from logging in, other users are not affected and can log in to the appliance with valid credentials.
6.
Optional: In the Appliance Encryption Key section, click Generate Key to generate a new encryption key. This key is used to enable Quest Support to access your appliance for troubleshooting using a tether. It is not necessary to generate a new key unless you believe that the current key has been compromised. See Enable a tether to Quest KACE Support.
The time stamp shows the time the key was generated.
7.
In the Single Sign On section, specify authentication settings:

Option

Description

Disabled

Prevent the appliance from using single sign on. Single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain to access the appliance Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their credentials on the appliance login page.

Active Directory

Use Active Directory for authentication. Active Directory uses the domain to authenticate users on the network. See Using Active Directory for single sign on.

8.
In the Samba section, specify the following settings:

Option

Description

For appliances with the Organization component enabled:

Enable Organization File Shares

For appliances without the Organization component:

Enable File Sharing

Use the appliance's client share to store files, such as files used to install applications on managed devices.

The appliance’s client share is a built-in Windows file server that can be used by the provisioning service to assist in distributing the Samba client on your network. Quest recommends that this file server only be enabled when you perform application installations on managed devices.

* 
NOTE: If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you can select additional file sharing options for each organization. See Enable file sharing at the System level.

Samba minimum protocol, Samba maximum protocol

Select the minimum and maximum Samba protocol, as required. The following options are available in each setting:

•
SMB2_02: The earliest SMB2 version.
•
SMB2_10: Windows 7 SMB2 version.
•
SMB2_22: Early Windows 8 SMB2 version.
•
SMB2_24: Windows 8 beta SMB2 version.
•
SMB3: Re-implementation of the SMB2 protocol. Used by Windows 8. SMB3 has sub protocols available. By default SMB3 uses the SMB3_11 variant.
•
SMB3_00: Windows 8 SMB3 version (similar to SMB2_24).
•
SMB3_02: Windows 8.1 SMB3 version.
•
SMB3_10: Early Windows 10 technical preview version.
•
SMB3_11: Windows 10 technical preview version.

Require signing

Enables signing in for the Samba protocol.

Disable Guest Access

Disables Samba guest access.

Require NTLMv2 to appliance file shares

Enable NTLMv2 authentication for the appliance files shares. When this is enabled, managed devices connecting to the appliance File Shares require support for NTLMv2 and they authenticate to the appliance using NTLMv2. Although NTLMv2 is more secure than NTLM and LANMAN, non-NTLMv2 configurations are more common and this option is usually turned off. Enabling this option disables lanman auth and ntlm auth on the Samba server. NTLMv2 Levels 1-4 are supported. If you need NTLM v2 Level 5, consider manually provisioning the KACE Agent. See Manually deploying the KACE Agent.

Require NTLMv2 to off-board file shares

Force certain appliance functions that are supported through the Samba client, such as Agent Provisioning, to authenticate to off-board network file shares using NTLMv2. Even though NTLMv2 is more secure than NTLM and LANMAN, non-NTLMv2 configurations are more common and this option is usually disabled. Enabling this option enables the client ntlmv2 auth option for Samba client functions.

9.
Optional: In the SSL section, specify SSL settings:
* 
IMPORTANT: Enabling SSL is a one-way automatic shift for managed devices. Devices must be reconfigured manually if you disable SSL.

Option

Description

Enable Port 80 access

Enable access to the appliance over port 80.

If you disable port 80 access, contact Quest Support to adjust the Agent deployment scripts to handle SSL.

Enable Forward port 80 to port 443

When you verify that SSL is working as expected, you can enable the forwarding of all communication from port 80 to port 443. To do that, select this check box.

Enable SSL

Enable managed devices to connect to the appliance using SSL (HTTPS).

Enable this setting only after you have properly deployed the appliance on your LAN in non-SSL mode.

To enable SSL, you need to load an SSL certificate as described in step 10.

10.
To load an SSL certificate, do one of the following:
◦
If your SSL certificate and private key are in Privacy Enhance Mail (PEM) format, similar to those used by Apache-based web servers:
1.
Select Upload PEM SSL Certificate.
2.
In the SSL Private Key File and SSL Certificate File fields, select the private key and certificate files.
3.
If you want to enable and upload intermediate SSL certificates (also in PEM format), select Enable Intermediate SSL Certificate. Intermediate SSL certificates are signed certificates provided by certificate issuers as proxies for root certificates.
◦
If your certificate is in PKCS-12 format:
1.
Select Upload PKCS-12 SSL Certificate.
2.
In the PKCS-12 File field, select the file.
3.
In the Password for PKCS-12 file field, type the password for the PKCS-12 file.
◦
To use the Let's Encrypt service for SSL certificates:
1.
Click Apply Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate. Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA). When you get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, their servers validate that you control the domain names in that certificate using a challenge.
* 
NOTE: The HTTP-01 challenge can only be done on port 80. Specify arbitrary ports makes the challenge less secure, and it is therefore not allowed by the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) standard. For that reason, the appliance must run on a public-facing box with port 80 open for inbound communication, and a publicly-resolvable DNS. For more details, visit https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/.
2.
In the Email Address field, provide an email address. While Let's Encrypt certificates periodically expire, the appliance uses an automated process to update the certificate before its expiration. The address is used for communication with Let's Encrypt in an unlikely event the certificate expires. You must have a Let's Encrypt account registered using this email address.
3.
Select the check box to agree with the terms of service.
◦
To generate certificate requests or load self-signed certificates:
1.
Click Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request) or Self-Signed SSL Certificate.
2.
In the area that appears, click SSL Certificate Form. Follow the instructions in Generate an SSL certificate.
11.
In the Secure Attachments in Service Desk section, choose whether to add security for files that are attached to Service Desk tickets:
◦
Select the check box to enable security for files attached to tickets. If you choose this option, users can access files attached to tickets only from within the appliance Administrator Console or User Console.
◦
Clear the check box to enable users to access files by clicking ticket links from outside the Administrator Console or User Console.
12.
Click Save and Restart Services to save changes and restart the appliance.
*
