Securing Users

ADMIN | EXPERT

By default, when you set up your Shieldoo Secure Network, all network nodes (users and servers) can access each other.

We highly recommend that you secure the user nodes in your network in the following way:

1. Enable Expert Mode.
   • See the Access Management chapter to learn how to enable Expert Mode.
2. Configure a firewall with the following properties:
   • Inbound Rules - Configure no inbound rules to prevent anyone from accessing users.
   • Outbound Rules - Configure an outbound rule that grants users access to Any ports opened by servers in the network.
3. Create a user access card template with the configured firewall:
   1. Go to the Network | Access Card Templates section.
   2. Click on the Create button.
   3. Configure the template settings. Those settings are a simplified form of server access card.
   4. Click the Create button to confirm the template’s creation.
4. Create an access card for each user in your network using the prepared template.

If you do not see some of the user management features described above, check that you have Identity integration enabled. For more information, see the Identity Integration chapter.
