Editing Device Settings

To edit settings of a device

1. Navigate to Manager View | Home > Firewalls > Inventory page.

2. Click the Ellipses icon in the ACTION column of the device for which you want to edit the settings and select Edit Settings.

   

3. In the Edit Settings dialog make the necessary changes.
   • FQDN/IP Address with Port, for example, acme.in:443 or 1.1.1.1:443
   • Enter Username and Password.

   • Enable or disable Verify SSL Certificate. This option is turned on by default.

     Enable SSL Certification verification for connection to device with a trusted SSL Certificate. If verification is enabled, connection will fail if SSL Certificate cannot be fully verified.

     If you turn off Verify SSL Certificate, a security warning is displayed. Without SSL verification, the connection between Firewall Management/NSM and the firewall is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Install a valid Web Management SSL Certificate on the firewall and turn verification back on. Turn off verification only in trusted, isolated lab environments, never in production.

     Click Re-verify certificate to verify the certificate of the firewall. Verify the certificate when you acquire the firewall for the first time, or when the certificate is changed on the firewall and the firewall goes offline. After you trust the certificate, the firewall synchronizes and comes online. This button is available only when Verify SSL Certificate is turned on.
