Message Networking supports various access mechanisms, depending
on the way it is configured.
Message Networking does not allow subscribers into the server for
mailbox access. Message Networking strictly serves as a postmaster,
receiving and sending networked messages. The only login access
to the system is by system administrators using the standard login
IDs (for example, sa, craft). See Administering
passwords for a list of the login IDs supported by Message Networking.
Message Networking Release 2.0 provides a secure web connection
that requires the administrator’s browser to have a security
certificate.
Message Networking servers provide dial-up modem access, which
is used by Avaya services personnel for troubleshooting and maintenance.
This modem can be accessed by only those users who are added to
the Avaya services group. These access restrictions are regulated
by Avaya. Message Networking supports Secure Shell (SSH) for remote
login access and file transfer over a LAN. All transmissions through
this channel are encrypted using Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell
(SSH).
The Message Networking system (S3400-H server only) also includes
an onboard Remote Maintenance Board (RMB) that provides dial-up
modem access to the Avaya services personnel. Access to this modem
is controlled by the Access Security Gateway (ASG) that employs
a challenge and response mechanism for authentication. ASG reduces
the possibility of unauthorized remote access to the S3400-H. See Adjuncts
for more information on ASG. It is strongly recommended that customers
invest in security adjuncts, that typically use one-time passcode
algorithms. These security adjuncts discourage hackers.
You can also set up a Point-to-Point (PPP) server for remote access
to the Message Networking system. PPP service can be configured
to enable remote access for local and remote machines. It is necessary
for administrators to administer point-to-point protocol logins
and passwords for the system. PPP logins are mainly used for maintenance.
See for more information on how to administer PPP logins.
