For cases where there is an existing bootloader password set, the assessment behavior of Security
Manager will differ between older devices and newer Futuresmart devices. Older devices use SNMP
to manage the bootloader password, and Security Manager can use SNMP to test an existing
password on a device against one in a policy to know when to remediate. However, newer
Futuresmart devices use web services to manage the bootloader password, and there is not a
technique whereby Security Manager could test a password on a device against one in a policy.
Therefore, Security Manager has no way of knowing whether to remediate or not. A checkbox is
provided to Always Remediate if it is desired for Security Manager to always set the value in the
policy on the device regardless of whether it matches or not. As this could cause remediation reports
to always indicate the password is being changed without knowing it of really is out of compliance,
another checkbox is present to Suppress reporting for the bootloader password.
Service Access Code
The Service Access Code is used to prevent unauthorized access to the device's Service menu from
the control panel. It must be 8 digit long. Note: Leave the Service Access Code fields blank to reset
the Service Access Code to the factory default value.
