In the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), you can enable a secure terminal session and a secure VNC connection globally.

Menu path: UMS Console > UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Remote Access

Secure terminal

Enable secure terminal globally

☑ Access via the secure terminal is enabled for all registered devices.

☐ Access via the secure terminal cannot be enabled for all registered devices. However, it can be enabled for individual devices. (Default)

 

Log user for secure terminal: Specifies whether the user name of the UMS user who established the connection to the device is logged. The log is shown under System > Logging > Log secure access.

☑ The user name is contained in the log.

☐ The user name is not contained in the log. (Default)

Secure VNC

Enable secure VNC globally

☑ Access via secure VNC is enabled for all registered devices.

☐ Access via secure VNC is not enabled for all registered devices. However, it can be enabled for individual devices. (Default)

Secure Shadowing and IGEL OS 12

Shadowing of IGEL OS 12 devices through the UMS is always via Unified Protocol and therefore secure, i.e. communication is always encrypted. By default, shadowing over plain VNC protocol is denied. However, you can deactivate the Deny shadowing via external VNC tool option under System > Remote Access > Shadow if you want that the devices could be shadowed by the external VNC viewer via plain VNC protocol.

 

Log user for secure VNC: Specifies whether the user name of the UMS user who established the connection to the device is logged. The log is shown under System > Logging > Remote Access.

☑ The user name is contained in the log.

☐ The user name is not contained in the log. (Default)
