Web UI: Specify parameters in the Web UI Options and Login Security sections.

In the Web UI Options section, set the Device Name, HTTPS Ports, Idle Timeout (mins), etc., as shown in the following figure.

Language: Support switch between Chinese and English.

When switching between English and Chinese, the console will restart because of changes to the global configuration. This will trigger an automatic logout and a page refresh. As databases are also switched (services are not disrupted), you need to wait 5-10 minutes before logging in again. Do not switch languages frequently. When language switching is necessary, schedule a suitable time.

Device Name: Specify the name of the device.

HTTPS Port: Specify the port by which you log in to the console. By default, this parameter is set to port TCP 443.

SSH Port: Specify the port by which you log in to the console via Secure Shell (SSH). By default, this parameter is set to TCP port 22345.

Idle Timeout (mins): Specify the timeout for the console. If the administrator does not operate the console within the specified time, the system is automatically disconnected.

Login Captcha: Specify whether to enable the option of Login Captcha when you log in to the console.

Full View: Specify whether to enable the Full View option when you log in to the console. After this option is enabled, when you access the page that can refresh automatically, you will not be forced to log out due to the timeout. It is recommended to enable this option when you need to project the page to a large screen for monitoring security information.

TLS Protocol: Specify the browser TLS protocol that is available for the console. This protocol determines whether you can log in to the Athena NGFW console using the browser.

Custom SSL Certificate: If this feature is enabled, administrators can upload and deploy digital certificates and private keys issued by trusted third-party CAs such as enterprise-built PKIs or public SSL providers to the Athena NGFW device to replace the device's default self-signed certificate. To use this feature, make sure that the custom certificate and its private key are fully uploaded. Then, administrators can bind them to the administrator login portal on the Athena NGFW device.[sa26]

Max Concurrent Sessions: Specify the maximum number of users allowed to log in to the console simultaneously.

Per-User Max Logins: Specify the number of IP addresses using an identical admin account to log in to the device console.

Max Login Attempts: Specify the number of login failures allowed for an administrator.

Click Save. Then, the configuration takes effect.
