One thing that the wizard does detect
automatically is which inbound ports are in
use. Therefore, it’s important that any applications
or services that listen for inbound traffic
are running before you run the wizard.
To get started configuring the wizard,
Click the Next button on the Welcome screen.
You’ll see a screen that asks if you want to
create a new security policy, edit an existing
security policy, apply an existing security
policy, or roll back to the last security policy
that was applied.
The option of rolling back to the last
applied security policy can be a real lifesaver.
If you happen to make a mistake and apply a
security policy that is too restrictive, you can
rerun the wizard and use the rollback option
to return your server to normal. Although
rolling back the security policy is no substitute
for having a good backup, it’s a nice
option if you need it.
To configure the SCW initially, select the
option to create a new security policy. After
you click Next, you’ll see a screen asking you
which server you want to use as a baseline.
The wizard will create a security policy based
on the server’s current settings, as well as on
how you answer the wizard’s various questions.
After you create a baseline policy, you
can apply the policy to the server that you used to create it, or you can apply the policy
to any other server. . . .
