Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C170 Guia Do Utilizador

You can specify how long a user can be logged into the Email Security appliance’s Web UI before 
AsyncOS logs the user out due to inactivity. This Web UI session timeout applies to all users, including 
admin, and it is used for both HTTP and HTTPS sessions. 

Once AsyncOS logs a user out, the appliance redirects the user’s web browser to login page.

The Web UI Session Timeout does not apply to Cisco Spam Quarantine sessions, which have a 30 minute 
timeout that cannot be configured.

Select System Administration > Network Access. 

Click Edit Settings. 

Enter the number of minutes users can be inactive before being logged out. You can define a timeout 
period between 5 and 1440 minutes. 

Submit and commit your changes.

You can configure the Email Security appliance to display a message called a “login banner” when a user 
attempts to log into the appliance through SSH, Telnet, FTP, or Web UI. The login banner is 
customizable text that appears above the login prompt in the CLI and to the right of the login prompt in 
the GUI. You can use the login banner to display internal security information or best practice 
instructions for the appliance. For example, you can create a simple note that saying that unauthorized 
use of the appliance is prohibited or a detailed warning concerning the organization’s right to review 
changes made by the user to the appliance. 

Use the 

adminaccessconfig > banner

 command in the CLI to create the login banner. The maximum 

length of the login banner is 2000 characters to fit 80x25 consoles. A login banner can be imported from 
a file in the

 /data/pub/configuration

 directory on the appliance. After creating the banner, commit 

your changes.
