What Is the ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat
Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or STM600?
The ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or
STM600, hereafter referred to as the STM, is an appliance-based, Web and e-mail security solution that protects the network perimeter against Web-borne threats from spyware, viruses, e-mail, and blended threats. Ideally deployed at the gateway, it serves as the network’s first line of defense against all types of threats, and complements firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)/
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), dedicated Intranet security products, and endpoint anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
Powered by patent-pending Stream Scanning technology and backed by one of the most comprehensive malware databases in the industry, the STM can detect and stop all known spyware and viruses at the gateway, preventing them from reaching your desktops and servers, where cleanup would be much more difficult.
Introduction 1-1
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
In addition to scanning HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP traffic, the STM protects networks against spam phishing attacks and unwanted Web use. The STM is a plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within minutes.
What Can You Do with an STM?
The STM combines robust protection against malware threats with ease of use and advanced reporting and notification features to help you deploy and manage the device with minimal effort.
Here are some of the things that you can do with the STM:
•
Protect the network instantly
. The STM is a plug-and-play security solution that can be instantly added to networks without requiring network reconfiguration.
•
Scan network traffic for malware
. Using the patent-pending Stream Scanning technology, you can configure the STM to scan HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols.
Unlike traditional batch-based scan engines that need to cache the entire file before they can scan, this scan engine checks traffic as it enters the network, ensuring unimpeded network performance.
•
Set access policies for individual users or groups
. You can configure Web and e-mail access access policies for individual users and groups based on the STM’s local database, on group IP address, on LDAP domain, group, or user, or on RADIUS VLAN.
•
Receive real-time alerts and generate comprehensive reports
. You can configure the STM to send alerts when a malware attack or outbreak is detected on the network. Real-time alerts can be sent by e-mail, allowing you to monitor malware events wherever you are.
By configuring the STM to send malware alerts, you can isolate and clean the infected computer before the malware incident can develop into a full-blown outbreak. The STM also provides comprehensive reports that you can use to analyze network and malware trends.
•
Manage through SNMP support
. You can enable and configure the STM’s SNMP settings to receive SNMP traps through a supported MIB browser.
•
Allow automated component updates
. Downloading components regularly is the key to ensuring updated protection against new threats. The STM makes this administrative task easier by supporting automatic malware pattern, program, and engine updates.
1-2 Introduction
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual

Introduction 1-3
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
Stream Scanning for Content Filtering
Stream Scanning is based on the simple observation that network traffic travels in streams. The
STM scan engine starts receiving and analyzing traffic as the stream enters the network. As soon as a number of bytes are available, scanning starts. The scan engine continues to scan more bytes as they become available, while at the same time another thread starts to deliver the bytes that have been scanned.
This multithreaded approach, in which the receiving, scanning, and delivering processes occur concurrently, ensures that network performance remains unimpeded. The result is file scanning is up to five times faster than with traditional anti-virus solutions—a performance advantage that you will notice.
Stream Scanning also enables organizations to withstand massive spikes in traffic, as in the event of a malware outbreak. The scan engine has the following capabilities:
•
Real-time protection
. The patent-pending Stream Scanning technology enables scanning of previously undefended real-time protocols, such as HTTP. Network activities susceptible to latency (for example, Web browsing) are no longer brought to a standstill.
•
Comprehensive protection
. Provides both Web and e-mail security, covering six major network protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. The STM uses enterpriseclass scan engines employing both signature-based and Distributed Spam Analysis to stop both known and unknown threats. The malware database contains hundreds of thousands of signatures of spyware, viruses, and other malware.
•
Objectionable traffic protection
. The STM prevents objectionable content from reaching your computers. You can control access to the Internet content by screening for Web categories, Web addresses, and Web services. You can log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.
•
Automatic signature updates
. Malware signatures are updated as frequently as every hour, and the STM can check automatically for new signatures as frequently as every 15 minutes.
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
With its internal 10/100/1000 ports, the STM can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network, a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network, or a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet network. The interfaces are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The STM incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each Ethernet port automatically senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a “normal” connection such as to a
PC or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or hub. That port then configures itself to the correct configuration. This feature eliminates the need to think about crossover cables, as Auto
Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right connection.

Choosing a Location for the STM
The STM is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing (on its runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can rack-mount the
STM in a wiring closet or equipment room. A mounting kit, containing two mounting brackets and four screws, is provided in the STM package.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the STM:
• The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air-conditioning units.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.
• The air is as free of dust as possible.
Introduction 1-17

Using the Setup Wizard to Provision the STM in
Your Network
This chapter describes provisioning the STM in your network. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
“Choosing a Deployment Scenario
on this page.
•
“Understanding the Steps for Initial Connection” on page 2-4
.
•
“Registering the STM with NETGEAR” on page 2-28
.
•

.
•
“Verifying Proper Installation” on page 2-27
.
•
“What to Do Next” on page 2-30 .
Choosing a Deployment Scenario
The STM is an inline transparent bridge appliance that can easily be deployed to any point on the network without requiring network reconfiguration or additional hardware.
The following are the most common deployment scenarios for the STM. Depending on your network environment and the areas that you want to protect, you can choose one or a combination of the deployment scenarios that are described in the following sections:
•
“Gateway Deployment” on page 2-1 .
•
•
“Segmented LAN Deployment” on page 2-3
.
Gateway Deployment
In a typical gateway deployment scenario, a single STM appliance is installed at the gateway— between the firewall and the LAN core switch—to protect the network against all malware threats entering and leaving the gateway. Installing the STM behind the firewall protects it from denial of
service (DoS) attacks. Figure 2-1 on page 2-2
shows a typical gateway deployment scenario.

Server Group
In a server group deployment, one STM appliance is installed at the gateway and another in front of the server group. This type of deployment helps split the network load and provides the e-mail server with dedicated protection against malware threats, including e-mail-borne viruses and
shows a typical server group deployment scenario.
Note:
This configuration helps protect the e-mail server from threats from internal as well as external clients.

Segmented LAN Deployment
In a segmented LAN deployment, one STM appliance is installed in front of each network segment. This type of deployment helps split the network load and protects network segments
from malware threats coming in through the gateway or originating from other segments. Figure 2-
shows a typical segmented LAN deployment scenario.
Note:
In a segmented LAN deployment, VLAN traffic can pass through the STM and can be scanned by the STM.

Verifying Proper Installation
Test the STM before deploying it in a live production environment. The following instructions walk you through a couple of quick tests designed to ensure that your STM is functioning correctly.
Testing Connectivity
Verify that network traffic can pass through the STM:
• Ping an Internet URL.
• Ping the IP address of a device on either side of the STM.
Testing HTTP Scanning
If client computers have direct access to the Internet through your LAN, try to download the eicar.com test file from
http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com
.
Using the Setup Wizard to Provision the STM in Your Network
v1.0, September 2009

ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
The eicar.com test file is a legitimate DoS program and is safe to use because it is not a malware threat and does not include any fragments of malware code. The test file is provided by EICAR, an organization that unites efforts against computer crime, fraud, and misuse of computers or networks.
Verify that the STM properly scans HTTP traffic:
1.
Log in to the STM Web Management Interface, and then verify that HTTP scanning is enabled. For information about how to enable HTTP scanning, see
Protocol Scan Settings” on page 4-22 .
2.
Check the downloaded eicar.com test file, and note the attached malware information file.
Registering the STM with NETGEAR
To receive threat management component updates and technical support, you must register your
STM with NETGEAR. The support registration keys are provided with the product package (see
“Service Registration Card with License Keys” on page 1-6 ).
The STM supports a Bundle Key, which is a single support registration key that provides all three licenses: Web protection, Email protection, and Support & Maintenance.
Note:
Activating the service licenses initiates their terms of use. Activate the licenses only when you are ready to start using this unit. If your unit has never been registered before you can use the 30-day trial period for all 3 types of licenses to perform the initial testing and configuration. To use the trial period, do not click
Register in
step 4 of the procedure below but click
Trial
instead.
If your STM is connected to the Internet, you can activate the service licenses:

Note:
When you reset the STM to the original factory default settings after you have
entered the license keys to activate the STM (see “Registering the STM with
), the license keys are erased. The license keys and the different types of licenses that are available for the STM are no longer displayed on the Registration screen. However, after you have reconfigured the STM to connect to the Internet and to the NETGEAR registration server, the STM retrieves and restores all registration information based on its MAC address and hardware serial number. You do not need to re-enter the license keys and reactivate the STM.
What to Do Next
You have completed setting up and deploying the STM to the network. The STM is now set up to scan the protocols and services that you specified for malware threats and to perform updates based on the configured update source and frequency.
If you need to change the settings, or to view reports or logs, log in to the STM Web Management
Interface, using the default IP address or the IP address that you assigned to the STM in “Setup
Wizard Step 1 of 10: Introduction” on page 2-10

Configuring Network Settings
If you have used the Setup Wizard, you might already have configured the Web Management
Interface and maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings; the Network Settings screen allows you to modify these settings and to specify the interface speed and duplex settings.
The STM requires a valid IP address to retrieve online updates and to enable access to its Web
Management Interface. If you have used the Setup Wizard to configure the STM, you have already specified the the management interface name and address settings and the size of the MTU. In addition to modifying these settings, the Network Settings screen also allows you to specify the interface speed and duplex settings for the management interface, for the STM600 or STM300 uplink and downlink interfaces, or for the STM150’s WAN and LAN interfaces.

About Users with Administrative and Guest Privileges
There are two pre-defined user types that can access the STM’s Web Management Interface:
•
Administrator
. A user who has full access and the capacity to change the STM configuration
(that is, read/write access). The default user name for an administrator is
admin
, and the default password for an administrator is
password
.
•
Guest user
. A user who can only view the STM configuration (that is, read-only access). The default user name for a guest is
guest
, and the default password for a guest is
guest
.
NETGEAR recommends that you change these passwords to more secure passwords.
The login window that is presented to the administrator and guest user is the NETGEAR
Configuration Manager Login screen (see
Changing Administrative Passwords and Timeouts
In addition to changing the default password for the administrator and guest user, you can use the
Set Password screen to change the account names, and modify the Web Management Interface timeout setting.
Note:
The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.
The password can be up to 64 characters.
To modify the administrator and guest accounts, and to modify the Web Management Interface timeout setting:

Using an SNMP Manager
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing applications.
SNMP lets you monitor and manage your STM from an SNMP manager. It provides a remote means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. The STM provides support for report aggregation through SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and version 2 (SNMPv2).
To enable SNMP and to configure the SNMP settings:

Select
Administration
>

Updating the Software
If you have used the Setup Wizard, you might have already configured the software update settings; the Software Update screen allows you to modify these settings.
The STM has four main software components:
• The application software that includes the network protocols, security services, Web
Management Interface, and other components.
• A scan engine that enables the STM to scan e-mails, attachments, Web files, and applications, and that functions in conjunction with the pattern file.
• A pattern file that contains the virus signature files and virus database.
• An operating system (OS) that includes the kernel modules and hardware drives.
The STM provides two methods for updating components:
• Scheduled, automatic update
• Manual update
Because new virus threats can appear any hour of the day, it is very important to keep both the pattern file and scan engine firmware as current as possible. The STM can automatically check for updates, as often as every 15 minutes, to ensure that your network protection is current.

Managing Digital Certificates
The STM uses digital certificates (also known as X509 certificates) for secure web access connections over HTTPS (that is, SSL VPN connections).
Digital certificates can be either self-signed or can be issued by certification authorities (CAs) such as an internal Windows server or an external organizations such as Verisign or Thawte. On the
STM, the uploaded digital certificate is checked for validity and purpose. The digital certificate is accepted when it passes the validity test and the purpose matches its use.
The STM uses digital certificates to authenticate connecting HTTPS servers, and to allow HTTPS clients to be authenticated by remote entities. A digital certificate that authenticates a server, for example, is a file that contains the following elements:
• A public encryption key to be used by clients for encrypting messages to the server.
• Information identifying the operator of the server.
• A digital signature confirming the identity of the operator of the server. Ideally, the signature is from a trusted third party whose identity can be verified.
When a security alert is generated, the user can decide whether or not to trust the host.
Figure 3-14
You can obtain a digital certificate from a well-known commercial certificate authority (CA) such as Verisign or Thawte. Because a commercial CA takes steps to verify the identity of an applicant, a digital certificate from a commercial CA provides a strong assurance of the server’s identity.
The STM contains a self-signed digital certificate from NETGEAR. This certificate can be downloaded from the STM login screen or from the Certificate Management screen for browser

Performance Management
Performance management consists of controlling the traffic through the STM so that the necessary traffic gets through when there is a bottleneck and either reducing unnecessary traffic or rescheduling some traffic to low-peak times to prevent bottlenecks from occurring in the first place.
You can adjust the following features of the STM in such a way that the traffic load on the WAN side decreases
Performing Network and System Management
v1.0, September 2009
3-31
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
If you want to reduce traffic by preventing undesired e-mails from reaching their destinations or by preventing access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use the STM’s content filtering feature.
By default, this feature is disabled; all requested traffic from any Web site is allowed with the
exception of Web content categories that are mentioned in “Default E-mail and Web Scan
.
•
E-mail Content Filtering
. To reduce incoming e-mail traffic, you can block e-mails with large attachments, reject e-mails based on keywords, file extensions, or file names, and set spam protection rules. There are several ways you can reduce undesired e-mail traffic:
–
Setting the size of e-mail files to be scanned
. Scanning large e-mail files requires network resources and might slow down traffic. You can specify the maximum file or message size that is scanned, and if files that exceed the maximum size are skipped (which
might compromise security) or blocked. For more information, see “Configuring E-mail
Anti-Virus Exception Settings” on page 4-7 .
–
Keyword, file extension, and file name blocking
. You can reject e-mails based on keywords in the subject line, file type of the attachment, and file name of the attachment.
For more information, see “E-mail Content Filtering” on page 4-11
.
–
Protecting against spam
. Set up spam protection to prevent spam from using up valuable
bandwidth. For more information, see “Protecting Against E-mail Spam” on page 4-14 .
•
Web Content Filtering
. The STM provides extensive methods to filtering Web content in order to reduce traffic:
–
Web category blocking
. You can block entire Web categories because their content is undesired, offensive, or not relevant, or simply to reduce traffic. For more information, see
“Configuring Web Content Filtering” on page 4-26 .
–
File extension blocking
.
You can block files based on their extension. Such files can include, executable files, audio and video files, and compressed files. For more
information, see “Configuring Web Content Filtering” on page 4-26 .
–
URL blocking
. You can specify URLs that are blocked by the STM. For more
information, see “Configuring Web URL Filtering” on page 4-32
.
–
Web services blocking
. You can block Web applications such as instant messaging, media, peer-to-peer, and tools. For more information, see
–
Web object blocking
. You can block the following Web component types: embedded objects (ActiveX, Java, Flash), proxies, and cookies, and you can disable Java scripts. For
more information, see “Configuring Web Content Filtering” on page 4-26 .

security) or blocked. For more information, see “Configuring Web Malware Scans” on page 4-24
.
For these features (with the exception of Web object blocking and setting the size of files to be scanned), you can set schedules to specify when Web content is filtered (see
Web Content Filtering” on page 4-26
) and configure scanning exclusions and access
exceptions (see “Setting Scanning Exclusions and Web Access Exceptions” on page 4-46 ).
You can use the STM’s monitoring functions to assist you with performance management (see

Protecting Against E-mail Spam
The STM integrates multiple anti-spam technologies to provide comprehensive protection against unwanted e-mail. You can enable all or a combination of these anti-spam technologies.
The STM implements these spam prevention technologies in the following order:
1.
Whitelist
. E-mails from the specified sources or to the specified recipients are not considered spam and are accepted.
4-14 Content Filtering and Optimizing Scans
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
2.
Blacklist
. E-mails from the specified sources are considered spam and are blocked.
3.
Real-time blacklist
. E-mails from known spam sources that are collected by blacklist providers are blocked.
4.
Distributed spam analysis
. E-mails that are detected as spam by the NETGEAR Spam
Classification Center are either tagged, blocked, or quarantined.
This order of implementation ensures the optimum balance between spam prevention and system performance. For example, if an e-mail originates from a whitelisted source, the STM delivers the e-mail immediately to its destination inbox without implementing the other spam prevention technologies, thereby speeding up mail delivery and conserving the STM system resources.
However, regardless of whether or not an e-mail is whitelisted, it it still be scanned by the STM’s anti-malware engines.
You can configure these anti-spam options in conjunction with content filtering to optimize blocking of unwanted mails.
Note:
E-mails that are sent through the STM over an authenticated connection between a client and an SMTP mail server are not checked for spam.
Note:
An e-mail that has been checked for spam by the STM contains an
“X-STM-SMTP” (for SMTP e-mails) or “X-STM-POP3” (for POP-3 e-mails) tag in its header.
Setting Up the Whitelist and Blacklist
You can specify e-mails that are accepted or blocked based on the originating IP address, domain, and e-mail address by setting up the whitelist and blacklist. You can also specify e-mails that are accepted based on the destination domain and e-mail address.
The whitelist ensures that e-mail from listed (that is, trusted) sources and recipients are not mistakenly tagged as spam. E-mails going to and from these sources and recipients are delivered to their destinations immediately, without being scanned by the anti-spam engines. This can help to speed up the system and network performance. The blacklist, on the other hand, lists sources from which all e-mail messages are blocked You can enter up to 200 entries per list, separated by commas.
Note:
The whitelist takes precedence over the blacklist, which means that if an e-mail source is on both the blacklist and the whitelist, the e-mail is not scanned by the anti-spam engines.

Configuring the Real-time Blacklist
Blacklist providers are organizations that collect IP addresses of verified open SMTP relays that might be used by spammers as media for sending spam. These known spam relays are compiled by blacklist providers and are made available to the public in the form of real-time blacklists (RBLs).
By accessing these RBLs, the STM can block spam originating from known spam sources.

ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
Configuring Distributed Spam Analysis
Spam, phishing, and other e-mail-borne threats consist of millions of messages intentionally composed differently to evade commonly-used filters. Nonetheless, all messages within the same outbreak share at least one unique, identifiable value which can be used to distinguish the outbreak.
With distributed spam analysis, message patterns are extracted from the message envelope, headers, and body with no reference to the content, itself. Pattern analysis can then be applied to identify outbreaks in any language, message format, or encoding type. Message patterns can be divided into distribution patterns and structure patterns. Distribution patterns determine if the message is legitimate or a potential threat by analyzing the way it is distributed to the recipients, while structure patterns determine the volume of the distribution.
The STM uses a Distributed Spam Analysis architecture to determine whether or not an e-mail is spam for SMTP and POP3 e-mails. Any e-mail that is identified as spam is tagged as spam (an option for both SMTP and POP3), blocked, or quarantined (the latter two are options possible only for SMTP).
Note:
Unlike other scans, you do not need to configure the spam score because the
NETGEAR Spam Classification Center performs the scoring automatically as long as the STM is connected to the Internet. However, this does mean that the STM must be connected to the Internet for the spam analysis to be performed correctly.
To configure Distributed Spam Analysis and the anti-spam engine settings:
1.
Select
Email Security
>
Anti-Spam
from the menu. The Anti-Spam submenu tabs appear, with the Whitelist/Blacklist screen in view.

• The Web protocols that are scanned for malware threats.
• Actions that are taken when infected Web files or objects are detected.
• The maximum file sizes that are scanned.
• Web objects that are blocked.
• Web categories, keywords, and file types that are filtered to block objectionable or high-risk content.
• Domains and URLs that are blocked for objectionable or high-risk content.
• Customer notifications and e-mail alerts that are sent when events are detected.
• Schedules that determine when content filtering is active.
Customizing Web Protocol Scan Settings
If you have used the Setup Wizard, you might have already configured the Web protocol scan settings; the (Web) Policy screen allows you to modify these settings.
Scanning all protocols enhances network security, but might affect the performance of the STM.
For an optimum balance between security and performance, only enable scanning of the most commonly used protocols on your network. For example, you can scan FTP and HTTP, but not
HTTPS (if this last protocol is not often used). For more information about performance, see

Configuring Web Content Filtering
If you want to restrict internal LAN users from access to certain types of information and objects on the Internet, use the STM’s content filtering and Web objects filtering. With the exception of the
Web content categories that are mentioned in “Default E-mail and Web Scan Settings” on page 4-2
, all requested traffic from any Web site is allowed.
You can specify a message such as
“Blocked by NETGEAR” that is displayed on screen if a user attempts to access a blocked site (see
the Notification Settings section that is described at the bottom of Table 4-11 on page 4-30 ).
Several types of Web content blocking are available:
•
File extension blocking
. You can block files based on their extension. Such files can include, executable files, audio and video files, and compressed files.
•
Web object blocking
. You can block the following Web objects: embedded objects (ActiveX,
Java, Flash), proxies, and cookies, and you can disable Java scripts. However, Web sites that are on the whitelist (see
“Configuring Web URL Filtering” on page 4-32 ) are never subject to
Web object blocking.
•
Web category blocking
. You can block entire Web categories because their content is undesired, offensive, or not relevant, or simply to reduce traffic.
Note:
You can bypass any type of Web blocking for trusted domains by adding the exact matching domain names to the trusted host list (see
“Specifying Trusted Hosts” on page 4-39
). Access to the domains on the trusted host list is allowed for PCs in the groups for which file extension, object, or category blocking, or a combination of these types of Web blocking has been enabled.

HTTPS traffic is encrypted traffic that cannot be scanned otherwise the data stream would not be secure. However, the STM can scan HTTPS traffic that is transmitted through an HTTP proxy, that is, HTTPS traffic is scanned as a proxy between the HTTPS client and the HTTPS server.
shows the HTTPS scanning traffic flow.
Figure 4-15
The HTTPS scanning process functions with the following principles:
• The STM breaks up an SSL connection between an HTTPS server and an HTTP client in two parts:
– A connection between the HTTPS client and the STM.
– A connection between the STM and the HTTPS server.
• The STM simulates the HTTPS server communication to the HTTPS client, including the SSL negotiation, certificate exchange, and certificate authentication. In effect, the STM functions as the HTTPS server for the HTTPS client.
• The STM simulates the HTTPS client communication to the HTTPS server, including the SSL negotiation, certificate exchange, and certificate authentication. In effect, the STM functions as the HTTPS client for the HTTPS server.
During SSL authentication, the HTTPS client authenticates three items:
• Is the certificate trusted?
• Has the certificate expired?
• Does the name on the certificate match that of the Web site?
4-36 Content Filtering and Optimizing Scans
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
If one of these is not satisfied, a security alert message appears in the browser window (see
Figure 4-16 ).
Figure 4-16
However, even when a certificate is trusted or still valid, or when the name of a certificate does match the name of the Web site, a security alert message still appears when a user who is connected to the STM visits an HTTPS site. The appearance of this security alert message is expected behavior because the HTTPS client receives a certificate from the STM instead of directly from the HTTPS server. If you want to prevent this security alert message from appearing, install a root certificate on the client PC. The root certificate can be downloaded from the STM’s
User Portal Login screen (see Figure 5-7 on page 5-10
).
If client authentication is required, the STM might not be able to scan the HTTPS traffic because of the nature of SSL. SSL has two parts—client and server authentication. HTTPS server authentication occurs with every HTTPS request, but HTTPS client authentication is not mandatory, and rarely occurs. Therefore it is of less importance whether the HTTPS request comes from the STM or from the real HTTPS client.
However, certain HTTPS servers do require HTTPS client certificate authentication for every
HTTPS request. Because of the design of SSL, the HTTPS client must present its own certificate in this situation rather than using the one from the STM, preventing the STM from scanning the
HTTPS traffic. For information about certificates, see “Managing Digital Certificates” on page 3-
.
You can specify trusted hosts for which the STM bypasses HTTPS traffic scanning. For more
information, see “Specifying Trusted Hosts” on page 4-39 .

Managing Users, Groups, and Authentication
This chapter describes how to manage users, groups, and authentication on the STM. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
“About Users, Groups, and Domains on this page.
•
“Configuring Groups” on page 5-2 .
•
“Configuring User Accounts” on page 5-6 .
•
“Configuring Authentication” on page 5-9
.
•
“Global User Settings” on page 5-24
.
•
“Viewing and Logging Out Active Users” on page 5-25 .
About Users, Groups, and Domains
Users can be individual users or can be part of a group, and a group is generally part of a domain.
Normally, you first create a domain, then you create a group that you assign to a domain, and then you create users that you assign to a group. The STM does not let you create domains; the local groups that you define are automatically assigned to the STM’s prosecuredomain default domain.
However, you can use existing LDAP and RADIUS domains on the STM.
The main purpose for using groups and domains is to apply exceptions (that is, adding or removing
restrictions) for Web browsing, URL access, and application access (see “Setting Web Access
Exception Rules” on page 4-48 ).
Note:
For information about a different type of users—those with administrative and guest privileges—see
“About Users with Administrative and Guest Privileges” on page 3-9 .
The STM supports both unauthenticated and authenticated users:
•
Unauthenticated users
. Anonymous users who do not log in to the STM and to which the
STM’s default e-mail and Web access policies apply.
5-1
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
•
Authenticated users
. User who have a computer behind the STM, who log in to the STM with a user name and password, and who are assigned an access policies that normally differs from the STM’s default e-mail and Web access policies. Different users or user groups can have different access policies, so there can be multiple access policies on the STM.
In addition to being authenticated as individual users, users can be authenticated on the STM according to group membership or IP address:
– Group membership. A group is defined in the STM’s local database, an LDAP database, or a RADIUS database. If you use a RADIUS database for authentication, a group can also be defined in a VLAN.
– IP address. A group is defined by its IP address and subnet.
Note:
For detailed information about authentication, see
The login window that is presented to this type of users is the User Portal Login screen (see
), which requires three items: a user name, a password, and a domain selection. The domain determines the authentication method that must be used—LDAP,
Active Directory, RADIUS, or the STM’s local database.
Configuring Groups
The use of groups simplifies the application of exception policies that allow different sets of users to have different Internet access restrictions. Rather than applying the same exception to each user, it is easier to apply a single exception to the entire group. For information about exception policies,
see “Setting Web Access Exception Rules” on page 4-48 .
You can define groups either by name or by IP address and subnet:
•
Groups defined by name
. These are local groups on the STM to which you can add users from the STM’s local user database. Local groups are automatically assigned to the STM’s prosecuredomain default domain.
Note:
For information about groups that are defined by VLANs, see
Deleting VLANs for Use with RADIUS Domains” on page 5-23 .
•
Groups defined by IP address and subnet
. These are groups that can be on your local network or on a remote device.

Configuring Authentication
The login screen and authentication on the STM depends on the user type and the authentication method:
•
Administrative users
. Users with administrative and guest privileges on the STM must log in
through the NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen (see Figure 5-6
) where they are authenticated through the STM’s local user database. These users must provide their user name and password.
. To change the administrator default
name and password or guest default name and password, see “Changing Administrative
Passwords and Timeouts” on page 3-9 .
Figure 5-6
•
Users with special access privileges
. User who have a computer behind the STM and who are assigned access policies that differ from the STM’s default e-mail and Web access policies
(see “Setting Web Access Exception Rules” on page 4-48
) must log in through the User Portal
Login screen (see Figure 5-7 on page 5-10 ). These users must provide their user name,
password, and select the domain to which they have been assigned.
The lower part of the NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen (see
) provides a User Portal Login Link.

The Authentication screen shows the IP address with which the user has logged in and lets a user change the password.
After completing a session, a user must log out by following these steps:
a.
Return to the User Portal Login screen (see Figure 5-7
).
Managing Users, Groups, and Authentication
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
The user must know how to return to the User Portal Login screen. The administrator must provide the User Portal Login URL:
https://<IP_address>/~common/cgi-bin/user_login.pl
or
https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName>/~common/cgi-bin/user_login.pl
Alternately, the administrator can provide the NETGEAR Configuration
Manager Login screen, from where the user can access the User Portal Login screen:
https://<IP_address>
or
https://<FullyQualifiedDomainName> b.
Log in again.
c.
On the Authentication screen (see Figure 5-8 on page 5-10 ), click the
logout
link.
Warning:
Ensure that users understand that they must log out after completing a session in order to prevent subsequent users from inheriting access privileges that were not assigned to them.
In addition to authentication through the STM’s local user database, the STM supports the following external authentication methods for users logging in through the User Portal Login screen:
•
LDAP
. A network-validated domain-based authentication method that functions with a
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server. LDAP is a standard for querying and updating a directory. Because LDAP supports a multilevel hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational units), this information can be queried to provide specific group policies or bookmarks based on LDAP attributes.
•
Active Directory
. A network-validated domain-based authentication method that functions with a Microsoft Active Directory authentication server. Microsoft Active
Directory authentication servers support a group and user structure. Because the Active
Directory supports a multilevel hierarchy (for example, groups or organizational units), this information can be queried to provide specific group policies or bookmarks based on
Active Directory attributes. A Microsoft Active Directory database uses an LDAP organization schema.
•
RADIUS
. A network-validated PAP or CHAP password-based authentication method that functions with Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS).
Managing Users, Groups, and Authentication
v1.0, September 2009
5-11
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
RADIUS support two types of protocols:
–
PAP
. Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a simple protocol in which the client sends a password in clear text.
–
CHAP
. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) executes a three-way handshake in which the client and server trade challenge messages, each responding with a hash of the other’s challenge message that is calculated using a shared secret value.
When logging in through the User Portal Login screen, users must provide their name and password, and select the domain that corresponds to the authentication method that has been assigned to them.
Understanding Active Directories and LDAP Configurations
This manual assumes that you already have a knowledge of Active Directories and LDAP servers.
The following sections are meant to provide some additional information before you go to
“Creating and Deleting LDAP and Active Directory Domains” on page 5-16
.
How an Active Directory Works
Understanding how a typical Active Directory (AD) works might be of help when specifying the settings for the LDAP and Active Directory domains on the STM.
The following applies to a typical AD:
• Organizational unit (ou), common name (cn), and domain controller (dc) can all be used to build a search base in the AD. The following applies to the ‘ou’ and ‘cn’ containers:
– An AD administrator can create an ou but cannot create a cn that was built in the AD server.
– An AD administrator can apply a global policy objects (gpo) to an ou, but not to a cn.
• An ou is created in the root node (for example, dc=companyname, dc=com) of the hierarchy.
In a company AD, an ou often represents a regional office or department.
• A groups is created under cn=users.
• A users is created under each ou so that the user can logically show in a tree of the AD server.
• A relationship between a group and users is built using their attributes (by default: member and memberOf). These show in a lookup result.
The following is an example of how to set the search base:
If in a company AD server “cn=users” and “ou=companyname” and both are specified under
“dc=companyname,dc=com”, the search base must be set as “dc=companyname,dc=com” in order to search both users and groups.
5-12 Managing Users, Groups, and Authentication
v1.0, September 2009
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
If the size limit is exceeded so that “dc=companyname,dc=com” misses some entries during the lookup process, a user can still be properly authenticated. However, to prevent the size limit from being exceeded, an AD administrator must set a larger value in the LDAP server configuration so that the entire list of users and groups is returned in the lookup result. Another workaround is to use a specific search name or a name with a wildcard in the lookup process, so that the subset of the entire list is returned in the lookup result.
How to Bind a ‘dn’ in an LDAP Configuration
Understanding how to bind a distinguished name (dn) in an LDAP configuration might be of help when specifying the settings for the LDAP and Active Directory domains on the STM.
In this example, the LDAP domain name is “ABC.com” and the LDAP server has IP address
192.168.35.115 on port 389. To bind a user with the name Jamie Hanson with the LDAP server:
1.
On a computer that has access to the Active Directory (AD), open the Active Directory for
Users and Computers.
2.
Select the user Jamie Hanson.
3.
Click the General tab. The general properties for Jamie Hanson display.

The LDAP or Active Directory bind distinguished name (dn) that is required to access the LDAP or Active Directory authentication server. This must be a user in the LDAP or Active Directory directory that has read access to all the users that you would like to import into the STM. The Bind DN field accepts three formats:
•
A full user name
. For example: a username such as Jamie Hanson.
•
A display name in the dn format
. For example: cn=Jamie Hanson,cn=users,dc=test,dc=com.
•
A Windows logon account name in e-mail format
. For example: [email protected]. This last type of Bind DN can be used only for a Windows
Active Directory server.
Bind Password The authentication secret or password that is required to access the LDAP or Active
Directory authentication server.
LDAP
Encryption
Search Base
From the pull-down menu, select the encryption type for the connection between the
STM and the LDAP or Active Directory server:
•

Note:
All log and report functions that are part of the Logs & Reports configuration menu and some of the functions that are part of the Diagnostics configuration menu require that you configure the e-mail notification server—see
“Configuring the E-mail Notification Server” on page 6-2 .

Configuring Logging, Alerts, and Event Notifications
You can configure the STM to e-mail logs and alerts to a specified e-mail address. For example, the STM can e-mail security-related events such as malware incidents, infected clients, and failed authentications. By default, the STM logs content filtering events such as attempts to access blocked sites and URLs, unwanted e-mail content, spam attempts, and many other types of events.
To receive the logs in an e-mail message, the STM’s notification server must be configured and e-mail notification must be enabled. If the notification server is not configured or e-mail notification is disabled, you can still query the logs and generate log reports to view on the Web
Management Interface screen or to save in CSV format.
For more information about logs, see
“Querying Logs and Generating Reports” on page 6-22

Example: Using Logs to Identify Infected Clients
You can use the STM logs to help identify potentially infected clients on the network. For example, clients that are generating abnormally high volumes of HTTP traffic might be infected with spyware or a virus.
Monitoring System Access and Performance
v1.0, September 2009
6-27
ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
To identify infected clients that are sending spyware or a virus in outbound traffic, query the STM spyware and virus logs and see if any of your internal IP addresses are the source of spyware or a virus:
1.
On the Log Query screen (see Figure 6-11 on page 6-24
), select
Traffic
as the log type.
2.
Select the start date and time from the pull-down menus.
3.
Select the end date and time from the pull-down menus.
4.
Next to Protocols, select the
HTTP
checkbox.
5.
Click
Search
. After a while, the log appears on screen.
6.
Check if there are clients that are sending out suspicious volumes of data, especially to the same destination IP address, on a regular basis.
If you find a client exhibiting this behavior, you can run a query on that client’s HTTP traffic activities to get more information. Do so by running the same HTTP traffic query and entering the client IP address in the Client IP field.
Log Management
Generated logs take up space and resources on the STM internal disk. To ensure that there is always sufficient space to save newer logs, the STM automatically deletes older logs whenever the total log size reaches 50% of the allocated file size for each log type.
Automated log purging means that you do not need to constantly manage the size of the STM logs and ensures that the latest malware incidents and traffic activities are always recorded.
Note:
The STM saves its logs every 5 minutes. If a power failure affects the STM, logs that where created within the 5-minute period before the power failure occurred are lost. Therefore, NETGEAR recommends that you connect the STM to a syslog server to save the logs externally.
To manually purge selected logs, see “Clearing Logs” on page 6-7 .
Scheduling and Generating Reports
The STM lets you schedule and generate four types of reports:
•
Email Reports
. For each protocol (SMTP, POP3, and IMAP), the report shows, the following information per day, both in in tables and graphics:
– Number of connections
– Traffic amount in MB

The STM provides diagnostic tools that help you analyze traffic conditions and the status of the network. Two sets of tools are available:
•
Network diagnostic tools
. These tools include a ping utility, traceroute utility, and DNS lookup utility.
•
Traffic diagnostic tools
. These tools allow you to perform real-time, per-protocol traffic analysis between specific source and destination addresses and let you generate reports on network usage in your network.
Note:
For normal operation, diagnostic tools are not required.
To display the Diagnostics screen, select

Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the STM, the following sequence of events should occur:
1.
When power is first applied, verify that the PWR LED is on.
2.
After approximately two minutes, verify that:
a.
The Test LED (STM150) or Status LED (STM300 and STM600) is no longer lit.
b.
The LAN port Left LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c.
The WAN port Left LEDs are lit for any WAN ports that are connected.
If a port’s Left LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a port is connected, verify the following Right LED behavior in relation to the established port speed:
• Connected to a 1000-Mbps device:
– STM150: The Right LED is green.
– STM300: The Right LED is amber.
– STM600: The Right LED is amber.
• Connected to a 100-Mbps device:
– STM150: The Right LED is amber.
– STM300: The Right LED is green.
– STM600: The Right LED is green.
• Connected to a 10-Mbps device: for all STM models, the Right LED is off.
If any of these conditions do not occur, see the appropriate following section.
Power LED Not On
If the Power and other LEDs are off when your STM is turned on, make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your STM and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact
NETGEAR Technical Support.
Test LED or Status LED Never Turns Off
When the STM is powered on, the Test LED (STM150) or Status LED (STM300 and STM600) turns on for approximately 2 minutes and then turns off when the STM has completed its initialization. If the Test LED (STM150) or Status LED (STM300 and STM600) remains on, there is a fault within the STM.

If all LEDs are still more than several minutes minute after power up:
• Turn the power off, and then turn it on again to see if the STM recovers.
• Clear the STM’s configuration to factory defaults. Doing so sets the STM’s IP address to
192.168.1.201
. This procedure is explained in
“Restoring the Default Configuration and
.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR Technical
Support.
LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On
If either the LAN LEDs or WAN LEDs do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the STM and at the hub, router, or workstation.
• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub, router, or workstation.
• Be sure you are using the correct cables:
When connecting the STM’s uplink (WAN) ports to one or two devices that provide the
Internet connections, use the cables that are supplied with the devices. These cables could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cables or an Ethernet crossover cables.
Troubleshooting the Web Management Interface
If you are unable to access the STM’s Web Management Interface from a PC on your local network, check the following:
• Check the Ethernet connection between the PC and the STM as described in the previous
section ( “LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On
).
• If your STM’s IP address has been changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the STM’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the STM’s IP address to
192.168.1.201
.
This procedure is explained in
“Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 7-

Tip:
If you do not want to revert to the factory default settings and lose your configuration settings, you can restart the STM and use a sniffer to capture packets sent during the reboot. Look at the ARP packets to locate the STM’s
LAN interface address.
• Make sure that you are using the SSL
https://address
login rather than the
http://address
login.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin
and the password is
password
. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when entering this information.
If the STM does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration Interface, check the following:
• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the Web browser might be caching the old configuration.
When You Enter a URL or IP Address a Time-out Error
Occurs
A number of things could be causing this situation. Try the following troubleshooting steps.
• Check whether other computers on the LAN work properly. If they do, ensure that your computer’s TCP/IP settings are correct.
• If the computer is configured correctly, but still not working, ensure that the STM is connected and turned on. Connect to the Web Management Interface and check the STM’s settings. If

ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance Reference Manual
Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping Utility
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and firewalls contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the Ping utility in your PC or workstation.
Testing the LAN Path to Your STM
You can ping the STM from your PC to verify that the LAN path to the STM is set up correctly.
To ping the STM from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1.
From the Windows toolbar, click
Start
and choose
Run
.
2.
In the field provided, type “ping” followed by the IP address of the STM; for example:
ping 192.168.1.201
3.
Click
OK.
A message, similar to the following, should display:
Pinging <
IP address
> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you will see this message:
Reply from <
IP address
>: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you will see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
– Make sure that the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in
“LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On” on page 7-3
.
– Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and STM.
• Wrong network configuration
– Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation.
– Verify that the IP address for your STM and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.

Testing the Path from Your PC to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device.
From the Windows run menu, type:
PING -n 10
<
IP address
> where <
IP address
> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:
• Check that your PC has the IP address of your STM listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your PC’s
Network Control Panel.
• Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address that is specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
• Check that the modem or router is connected and functioning.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
To reset the STM to its original factory default settings:
1.
Select
Administration
>
Backup and Restore Settings
from the menu. The Backup and
Restore Settings screen displays.

The STM restarts. During the reboot process, the Backup & Restore Settings screen remains visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED (STM150) or
Status LED (STM300 and STM600) on the front panel goes off.
Warning:
When you restore the factory default settings, the STM settings are erased.
All scan and anti-spam settings are lost. Back up your settings if you intend on using them.
Note:
After rebooting with factory default settings, the STM administrator account password is
password
, the guest account password is
guest,
and the LAN IP address is
192.168.1.201
.
Note:
For the STM150 only, there is an alternate way to return the settings to factory default: using a sharp object, press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel of
the STM150 (see “Rear Panel STM150” on page 1-14
) for about 10 seconds until the front panel Test LED flashes and the STM150 returns to factory default settings.
Problems with Date and Time
The System Date and Time screen displays the current date and time of day (see
Date and Time Service” on page 3-23
). The STM uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000. Cause: The STM has not yet successfully reached a Network
Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the STM, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour. Cause: The STM does not automatically sense Daylight Savings
Time. Check the Time Zone menu, and select or deselect the checkbox marked “Adjust for
Daylight Savings Time”.
