One-Touch Configuration Overrides

Be sure to export the configuration of you SonicWall security appliance before executing a configuration override, so the current configuration may be restored. Please refer to Exporting Settings.

Be aware that the One-Touch Configuration Overrides may change the behavior of your SonicWall security appliance. Review the list of configurations before applying One-Touch Configuration Overrides. In particular, these configurations may affect your experience:

• Administrator password requirements on the Device | Settings page
• Requiring HTTPS management
• Disabling HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect
• Disabling Ping management

The One-Touch Configuration Overrides feature is configured on the Settings dialog available from the Device | Settings > Firmware and Settings page. It can be thought of as a quick tune-up for your SonicWall network security appliance’s security settings. With a single click, One-Touch Configuration Overrides applies over sixty configuration settings to implement SonicWall’s recommended best practices. These settings ensure that your appliance is taking advantage of SonicWall’s security features.

To override the One-Touch Configuration settings

A system restart is required for the updates to take full effect.

1. Navigate to Device | Settings > Firmware and Settings.
2. Click Settings. The Settings dialog is displayed.

3. Scroll to the ONE-TOUCH CONFIGURATION OVERRIDES section.
