1. Replacement of Devices The Set Current Device Credentials dialog in the context menu of the device overview table refers to mdm s notion of the device s current passwords and should be used if the passwords have been modified by external means e g through the device s web interface To change the passwords with mdm use the Template or Device configuration dialog mGuard configuration Authentication Administrative Users Passwords instead When a device is physically replaced by a new one with factory default settings some preparation is necessary before SSH uploads can be performed to the new device First of all out of security considerations mdm refuses to upload to a device if its SSH host key has changed so the host key has to be reset Secondly mdm s notion of the device s passwords has to be set to the factory defaults These steps can be performed in the Set Current Device Credentials dialog in the context menu of the device overview table Check the root admin and Reset SSH Host Key boxes and type the root and admin passwords into the respective fields 4 5 Effect of Changing Templates Configuration values that override values in a VPN connection inherited from an ancestor template are retained as long as the ancestor template is assigned If it is deassigned or another parent template is assigned overridden configuration values are lost Likewise pool values change when anoth

5. arted 4 Usage Hints 4 1 Performance of Creating Configuration History Entries mdm 1 6 1 creates a configuration history entry for each affected device after every modification to a device template or VPN group configuration Such a modification can therefore be slow especially if it affects a large number of devices Further improvements to this process will be made in future mdm versions 4 2 Caching Behavior of the mdm Server Any RAM available to the mdm server beyond what it requires is used to cache data It is therefore normal behavior if the memory usage increases to the configured maximum as soon as there is some activity and subsequently remains on that level 4 3 Default Values If a setting is not configured in mdm the factory default setting is assumed It is therefore strongly recommended to configure the mGuard passwords in mdm mGuard configuration Authentication Administrative Users Passwords Otherwise mdm will set them to the factory default passwords If SSH configuration uploads from mdm are to be performed via the mGuards external interfaces shell access must be configured to allow connections from mdm to the mGuards mGuard Page 4 Innominate Security Technologies AG mdm Release Notes configuration Management System Settings Shell access No such access is allowed by default Innominate recommends to configure shell access as restrictive as possible 4 4 Device Credentials
