How to secure Nav - bruteforce etc?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 57

From the outside, clients can connect to the Nav instance on port 8046.

With the use of UserName authentication SSL provides encryption.

But what to do from there in regards of security.

People from all over the world can (bruteforce) and try to guess username/password.

What do you do?

Are you using intrusion detection or something else?

    hi,

    this is very huge area....

    for the basic you can do ,,,,

    1.Requiring users to create complex passwords

    2.Limiting the number of times a user can unsuccessfully attempt to log in

    3.Temporarily locking out users who exceed the specified maximum number of failed login attempts

    4.set ideal timeout

    but this is not enough by technically (you must have some network filters (eg : barakuda/watchguard) let the network admins to handle it '

    other thing is identify your requirement and clients why need to log NAV directly..

    if you really want you can open tunnel / vpn for them

    there are various why and if you able to tell us more details about why your clients need to log by out side and what are the function they need to do on out side , we can make you more suggestion
