Note: Infoblox recommends that you do not change the Common Criteria setting of a NIOS appliance that is in a production environment.

Before you enable Common Criteria mode, you must reset a NIOS appliance to its original factory settings. This removes the database, network settings, logs, and configuration files. Then, it reboots with its factory settings, which are the default user name and password, and default network settings. If you do not reset the appliance to its original factory settings, the appliance will not be Common Criteria compliant, even if you enable Common Criteria mode.
To reset the NIOS appliance to its factory settings:

Log in to the Infoblox CLI using a superuser account.
Enter the following CLI command:

reset all

You can enable and disable Common Criteria mode from the Infoblox CLI only. Do the following to set Common Criteria mode on the appliance:

Log in to the Infoblox CLI. After executing the reset all command, you can log in to the TOE only by using the default superuser admin name admin and password infoblox.
Type the following command:

set cc_mode

For more information about the commands mentioned above, refer to the /wiki/spaces/NCG8/pages/22937962. The TOE reboots and goes through boot time self tests. If the test fails, the TOE goes into a loop and displays an error message on the serial console and the LCD. Otherwise, it displays the Login prompt after the self tests.

Note: You cannot enable the Common Criteria mode when the FIPS mode is enabled, but note that Common Criteria mode is a subset of the FIPS mode. When you enable FIPS mode in your device, it enables both FIPS and Common Criteria mode. For more information about the FIPS mode, see Appendix D Guidance Documentation Supplement for Federal Information Processing Standard.

To clear Common Criteria mode on an appliance, log in to the Infoblox CLI and execute the command: reset all.

Using the CLI

Only superusers can access the CLI. You can access the CLI through a direct console or using the SSH command in Common Criteria or FIPS mode and also activate the option Enable Remote Console Access in the Grid or Member Properties editor.

To access the Infoblox CLI through the console port:

Connect a serial cable from the console port on your management system to the console port on the appliance. The appliance has a male DB-9 console port on its front panel.
Use the following connection settings to launch an emulation session through a serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal® (provided with the Windows® operating systems):
- Bits per second: 9600
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Use the following default user name and password to log in to the Infoblox appliance:
admin
infoblox
Note: After you log in, change the default user name and password of the default superuser admin to prevent unauthorized access to the TOE. For more information on changing passwords, see Changing the Password and Email Address. You can remotely (SSH) log in to the Grid Master candidate and execute the commands.

For more information about the Infoblox CLI, refer to the Infoblox CLI Guide.
