Step 3 - (Optional) Secure Your SmartServer

This section describes optional measures that you can take to secure your SmartServer. For example, you can optionally enhance the security of your SmartServer using the built-in signed security certificate, or by providing your own custom signed security certificate. You can also manage user access by changing, recovering, and reseting passwords. Furthermore, you can optionally disable eth0 and eth1 interface ports 1883 and 8883 using the SmartServer Configuration Features page. 

For some organizations, like the General Services Administration (GSA), that require a warning banner with specific, approved language at IT access points to the SmartServer IoT, you can customize the SmartServer home page, as well as the SmartServer CMS login window, to display this warning banner.

This section consists of the following:

• Enhancing Security
• Configuring Security (Authentication Method)
• Managing SmartServer IoT Passwords
• Managing SmartServer IoT Ports and Services
• Adding an Access Warning Banner
• Monitoring System Audit Events
• Configuring HTTP Proxy
• Configuring MQTT Settings
