Configuring Login Security

The internal SonicOS Web-server supports TLS 1.1 and above with strong ciphers (128 bits or greater) when negotiating HTTPS management sessions. SSL implementations are not supported. This heightened level of HTTPS security protects against potential SSLv2 rollback vulnerabilities and ensures compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and other security and risk-management standards.

SonicOS uses advanced browser technologies, such as HTML5, which are supported in most recent browsers. SonicWall recommends using the latest Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari (does not operate on Windows platforms) browsers for administration of SonicOS. Mobile device browsers are not recommended for SonicWall system administration.

Configuring SonicOS password constraint enforcement ensures that administrators and users are using secure passwords. This password constraint enforcement can satisfy the confidentiality requirements as defined by current information security management systems or compliance requirements, such as Common Criteria and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard.
