How to Create Secure Connector Firewall Management Rules

By default, access to the web interface, SSH, and ICMP is blocked from every firewall zone. For each firewall zone, you must create a Secure Connector firewall management rule to allow access to these services. To be able to log into the Secure Connector via SSH, you must also enable SSH via the Secure Connector Editor.
