The SEL-2740S must be adopted by OTSDN Controllers for secure communication identifiers and initial trust for configuration of remote maintenance and diagnostic communications.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to eavesdropping, potentially putting sensitive data (including administrator passwords) at risk of compromise and potentially allowing hijacking of maintenance sessions.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
To configure the SEL-2740S X.509 certificate for TLS communications, the device needs to be simply adopted by OTSDN controller.
Before adopting, create an SEL-2740S configuration node object.
To adopt an SEL-2740S do the following:
1. Go to the "Topology" page.
2. Select the SEL-2740S you want to adopt. The Option window shows the SEL-2740S Node Options pane.
