Accessing the Security Management Appliance
Because you can specify HTTP or HTTPS when configuring each of the web interfaces (go to
Management Appliance > Network > IP Interfaces on the Security Management appliance), you may
be asked to reauthenticate if you switch between the two during your session. For example, if you access
the admin web interface through HTTP on port 80 and then, in the same browser, access the spam
quarantine end user web interface through HTTPS on port 83, you are asked to reauthenticate if you
return to the admin web interface.

When accessing the GUI, do not use multiple browser windows or tabs simultaneously to make changes
to the Security Management appliance. Do not use concurrent GUI and CLI sessions either. Doing so
will cause unexpected behavior and is not supported.
