4.3 Users
The Octet switching system can be configured to support up to 128 users. Each user is
identified by a unique name and password and can be assigned full, view only or no rights
to target devices attached to the Octet switch.
Logging in as a user
Each user can set or change the password for his or her login. Administrators can reset
passwords for each user if needed and can allow specific users to have a blank password.
When the Octet user station is powered, you are prompted for your username and
password. Passwords must be 6 to 15 characters, or 0 characters if a blank password is
enabled for that user. All ASCII characters can be used in the login prompt. The
characters (‘ ^ ~) must be typed twice before they display in the password field.
Once you have entered your login name and password, the OSD is displayed. You can
change your password at any time using the OSD. However, if you used the Octoware
software to configure user authentication through LDAP, you might need to change the
user’s password on your Enterprise Server (for example, Active Directory server) instead
of the OSD.
If you have not logged in successfully, the OSD displays the Matrix System label and the
names of locally connected servers in the target device list. Double-clicking
Matrix
System switches you to the login dialog box, where you may re-attempt to log in.
