In order to configure a controller to have both secure and open actions for a firewall, the following steps can be taken:

1. Identify the actions that require secure access and those that can be open to the public.

2. Create two separate routes in the controller, one for the secure actions and another for the open actions.

3. Use a middleware or a before_filter in the secure route to authenticate and authorize the user before accessing the secure actions.

4. Add the necessary permissions and roles for the secure actions.

5. Ensure that the open route does not contain any sensitive or confidential information.

6. Add a before_filter or middleware to the open route to limit or throttle the number of requests from a single IP address to prevent DDoS attacks.

7. Use SSL encryption to secure the connection between the user and the server for both routes.

By following these steps, a controller can be configured to have both secure and open actions for a firewall.
