Controlling access to the Content Gateway manager

Administrators can restrict access to the Content Gateway manager to ensure that only authenticated users can change configuration options and view performance and network traffic statistics.

Administrators can:

• Set the master administrator ID and password. A user who logs on to the Content Gateway manager with the administrator ID has access to all Content Gateway manager activities. See Setting the administrator ID and password.
• Create and maintain a list of user accounts that determines who can log on to the Content Gateway manager and which activities they can perform. See Creating a list of user accounts.
• Create an access control list of IP addresses that defines which machines can access the Content Gateway manager. See Controlling host access to the Content Gateway manager.
• Use SSL for secure administration. See Using SSL for secure administration.
• Require administrators to log on to the Forcepoint Security Manager, with or without two-factor authentication, and then use the Content Gateway Access page in the Security Manager to log on to the Content Gateway manager. See Accessing the Content Gateway manager.
