In the LoadMaster UI, go to Certificates & Security > Remote Access and follow the steps below:

  1. Disable Allow Remote SSH Access.
  2. Enable Allow Web Administrative Access. Select the network interface to manage the LoadMaster from the Using drop-down list. It is critical to the security of your appliance that you use a dedicated network interface for management traffic; refer to the section Choosing a Management Interface for help making a selection.
  3. Enter the Admin Default Gateway (if the management interface is not on the same interface as your default gateway's network) and click Set Administrative Access.
  4. The Allow Multi Interface Access check box should normally be disabled to force management traffic to only the management network.
  5. Disable the Enable API Interface check box.
  6. If you are using High Availability (HA), LoadMaster clustering, or GEO partner functionality - ensure to set the Partner Shared Secret.
    Note: When an incoming shared secret does not match the local Partner Shared Secret (including if only one side is providing a shared secret), a warn-level log message is recorded that says Unauthorized Remote Machine connection from <ClientIPAddress> and the connection fails.
    This secret must have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 127 characters. The following characters are supported:
    • Numeric: 0-9
    • Uppercase alphabetic: A-Z
    • Lowercase alphabetic: a-z
    • Special characters: !"#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?[\~]^_@`{|}
