## GUI

On the Settings > Security > GUI page, you can configure different security related GUI settings.

This page is divided in different sections. The secure communications, session timeout, Operator Panel/Web GUI session locking and the Automatic Operator Panel Login at power on configuration option.

Secure Communications

You can force SSL/TLS connection for the library Web GUI. In case this is enabled, an unsecure connection by using http is prohibited.

A self-signed certificate is included in the library, to support https. It is also possible to add a certificate which is singed by a Certificate Authority using the Certificate Wizard.

The wizard generates a certificate and then you will need a Certificate Authority to sign the certificate.

1. Before starting the wizard, prepare your Certificate Authority to sign the certificate. You will be pasting the certificate generated by the wizard into a field in the Certificate Authority for signing.
2. To start the wizard click Start Certificate Wizard in the Create custom certificate section.
3. Read the Information screen and then click Next.
4. In the Certificate Signing Request screen, create the certificate.

1. Enter the information about the library and organization.
2. Click Generate CSR.
   The wizard displays the certificate in the lower pane.
3. Click Select CSR.
4. Use a web browser copy command, such as Crtl-c to copy the certificate generated by the wizard is now in your computer’s copy buffer.

5. Paste the certificate into the appropriate field in your Certificate Authority and then have the Certificate Authority sign the certificate.
6. In the wizard Certificate Signing Request screen, click Next.
7. In the Signed Certificate screen, paste the signed certificate into the Signed Certificate pane and then click Finish.
8. To verify that the certificate is being used, open an https connection to the library from a server or computer where the server-side certificate was imported.

IMPORTANT: If the server-side signed certificate is not imported correctly, the library will revert to the built-in certificate.
Once a custom certificate is generated, it is possible to backup the certificate data to an encrypted file. This can be done in the Backup custom certificate sub-section.

Saving the custom certificate to a file

1. Click Backup custom certificate
2. After custom certificate backup file is generated, the file is stored to the local computer.

A backup of the custom certificate can bre restored again, that is, after an exchange of the library controller module. This can be done in the Restore custom certificate subsection.

Restoring the custom certificate from a file

1. Click Choose File to navigate to and select the certificate backup file.
2. CIick Restore custom certificate to initiate the certificate restore process.

Session Timeout

With this option, it is possible to configure the session timeout for the Web GUI.

1. Select timeout value (5 or 30 Minutes)
2. Click Submit

Operator Panel/RMI Session Locking
The library supports only one Operator Panel or RMI user session at a time. By default, when a user logs in to the Web GUI or Operator Panel, the existing user session is terminated.

When Operator Panel/RMI Session Locking is enabled, a new session does not terminate the current session and the new user will not be able to log in.

| NOTE | When this setting is enabled, always log out of the RMI or Operator Panel when finished with a session. Otherwise, no new sessions will be allowed until the current session times out.
