OK, smarty pants... What would you consider a "good" management system for a firewall?
I was thinking about this myself when this email first hit the list, but because I couldn't really decide what my favourite solution was, I kept my mouth shut. Then again, I don't write firewalls like Mike. Obvious contenders are HTTP (needs an HTTP server on the firewall, could be bad, especially if it uses post operations to send data back to the firewall. HTTP is fairly ubiquitous, which is good.) Java (needs Java support, but could be good on good platforms with a real sandbox) or Proprietary (dedicated app required at the management station, which involves cross-system porting - could be bad. Pipeline between management station and firewall is probably strong, could be good.). We are ready for your wisdom... ;) -- Ben Nagy Network Security Specialist Mb: TBA PGP Key ID: 0x1A86E304 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mikael Olsson [...] > Yes, I definately consider a good management system a requirement. > > > > A web-based system? > > Although this would make me look elsewhere :) > [...] > -- > Mikael Olsson, Clavister AB [...] _______________________________________________ Firewalls mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] For Account Management (unsubscribe, get/change password, etc) Please go to: http://lists.gnac.net/mailman/listinfo/firewalls
