# config -‐g config.users.total
This command should display
config.users.total 1
. Note that if you see
config.users.total
this means you have 0 Users
configured.
Your new User will be the existing total plus 1. If the previous command gave you 0, then you start with user number 1.
If you already have 1 user your new user will be number 2, etc.
To add a user (with Username=John, Password=secret and Description =mySecondUser) issue the commands:
# config -‐s config.users.total=2 (assuming we already have 1 user configured)
# config -‐s config.users.user2.username=John
# config -‐s config.users.user2.description=mySecondUser
# config -‐P config.users.user2.password
NOTE: The -‐P parameter will prompt the user for a password, and encrypt it. You can encrypt the value of any config
element using the -‐P parameter, but only encrypted user passwords and system passwords are supported. If any other
element value were to be encrypted, the value will become inaccessible and will have to be reset.
To add this user to specific groups (admin/users):
# config -‐s config.users.user2.groups.group1='groupname'
# config -‐s config.users.user2.groups.group2='groupname2'
etc...
To give this user access to a specific port:
# config -‐s config.users.user2.port1=on
# config -‐s config.users.user2.port2=on
# config -‐s config.users.user2.port5=on
etc...
To remove port access:
# config -‐s config.users.user2.port1=''
(the value is left blank)
or simply:
# config -‐d config.users.user2.port1
The port number can be anything from 1 to 48, depending on the available ports on the specific
console server
.
For example, assume we have an RPC device connected to port 1 on the
console server
and the RPC is configured. To
give this user access to RPC outlet number 3 on the RPC device, run the 2 commands below:
# config -‐s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.users.user2=John
# config -‐s config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.users.total=2 (total number of users that have access to this outlet)
If more users are given access to this power outlet, then increment the
'config.ports.port1.power.outlet3.users.total'
element accordingly.
To give this user access to network host 5 (assuming the host is configured):
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.user1=John
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.total=1 (total number of users having access to host)
To give another user called “Peter” access to the same host:
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.user2=Peter
# config -‐s config.sdt.hosts.host5.users.total=2 (total number of users having access to host)
