Administering the Local CLI User Database
In a simple Media Gateway configuration, the CLI users database is stored internally
on each SC board and the
tools user
script is used to perform administration. The
local CLI users database is constantly synchronized between the SC boards, therefore
any change that is performed on the Active SC board is immediately replicated to the
Standby SC board.
To configure the Media Gateway to use the Local CLI Users Database, run the
tools
user sync
script and set synchronization mode to
disabled
(see chapter
'Synchronizing CLI Users Database with the EMS Server' on page
Also ensure that external user authentication is disabled (see chapter 'Centralized
RADIUS Servers' on page
Figure
33-6: Local CLI Users Database on SC Boards
When the Media Gateway is configured to use the Local CLI Users Database, the
security administrator should decide which users are allowed access to the Media
Gateway CLI and to provision usernames and passwords via the
tools user
script as
described below. It is strongly recommended to create a separate CLI account for
each person who operates the Media Gateway and refrain from using shared
accounts (i.e. accounts that are used by multiple users, such as the default
acladmin
account).
For enhanced security, passwords of CLI users must be periodically modified.
Note
: The CLI Users Database is replicated from the active SC to the standby SC.
Therefore always connect to the Active SC to perform user administration.
