Restricted Access (CLI and BUI)

Administrative access to the Browser User Interface (BUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI) is limited to the root user, local administrators defined with the relevant privileges, and those authorized through identity servers such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Network Information Service (NIS).

Administration is conducted over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) command-line login or an HTTP secure (HTTPS) browser session. HTTPS sessions are encrypted with a self-signed certificate that is uniquely generated for each ZFSSA at initial installation time. HTTPS sessions have a user-definable default session timeout of 15 minutes.
