Administrative access to the TOE is established via a supported web browser using a TLSv1 session.
The Administrator Management session may be closed manually by the Administrator through a logoff
button on the GUI. To maintain security during management sessions, the session (whether local or
remote) also automatically closes after an Administrator specified term of inactivity (between 3 and 30
minutes). The default setting enforces termination of sessions after 10 minutes of inactivity.
FMT_SMF.1, FPT_TUD_EXT.1 - Management Functions provided by the TOE
Various types of alerts can be configured by TOE Administrators to execute actions and notify
Administrators via email of security related events detected by the MEG appliance. Through this GUI
based interface, administrators can acknowledge notification of events and actions taken to mitigate the
identified file. Core TOE management functions include:
• Enable and disable operation of the appliance;
• Query and configure audit logs.
Selection of the About the Appliance tab allows the administrator to check the version of the current TOE
software and the packages installed.
The TOE can be updated with software hotfixes and patches. Prior to being applied, the integrity of
hotfixes and patches is verified against the SHA-256 hashes provided on the McAfee website. For
firmware updates (i.e. code embedded in the physical chips) such as the RAID controller, BIOS or
network interface images, SHA-256 hashes are also provided.
Management of the TOE and Restrictions – FMT_MTD.1
Various operational modes and protocol configuration options can also be established through the
management GUI that determine how the appliance intercepts traffic and integrates into the network
architecture. Administrators may also utilize the appliance management function to manage and update
virus signature files that are used for scanning of traffic to specific malicious file structure characteristics.
The McAfee MEG appliance allows an Administrator to configure and manage the audit/logging function,
including searching and sorting of audit data and generation of reports based on various log parameters.
The ability to query, delete or modify the security configuration parameters of the TOE is restricted by the
TSF to Administrators holding the appropriate role, properly authenticated by the MEG operating system.
Initially, the appliance has one administrator account— the Super Administrator, scmadmin — which has
access to all the appliance features. In this default mode the Super Administrator is equivalent to the
Security Administrator in [NDPP]. Using the scmadmin account, any number of other accounts can be
created, including more Super Administrators or other less privileged roles. The appliance will probably be
used by many people, where each user has a different requirement.
For example, two users may need full access to all the appliance features, while another four users need
only to view the reports. This would require two user accounts that are like the Super Administrator, and
four user accounts for administering reports. These types of requirements are referred to as roles.
The appliance has several roles already defined. A Super Administrator can see all the menus and
buttons that are available from the interface. The other administrators can see fewer menus and buttons.
As user accounts are created, each account is assigned a role. New roles can also be created.
