Secure administration Web pages

You can restrict access to the administration Web pages to only authenticated clients. By using authentication, only those clients having a valid user name and password are permitted to access the administration Web pages.

If you want to restrict access to CentreVu Internet Solutions administration Web pages, you must ensure the following:

• All CentreVu Internet Solutions directories must be installed on an NT File System (NTFS).

• The following default directory on the Message Care server is password protected: C:\Program Files\Message Care\www\admin

• The C:\Program Files\Avaya\icm\admin directory on the ICM server is password protected

• The IIS software must be configured to handle authentication. The following are two methods of authentication:

  • Basic (Clear Text). This method of authentication sends the client's Windows NT user name and password over the networks unencrypted.

  • Windows NT Challenge/Response. This method of authentication protects the password thus providing for a secure login over the network. However, this method of authentication is supported only by Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 or greater.

Once you have ensured the above, you can add users and allocate permissions on the ICM server.
