Access Right Description
BREAK The Break access right allows users to send a serial break
sequence to the attached serial device. On certain devices,
this sequence has a special meaning. Grant Break access
only to users who need to use the Port Break command.
P The Port access right gives users access to one or more
serial ports. This confers the right to access that serial port
and connect to the attached serial device. You may grant
Port access rights to specifi c ports (Pn), a range of ports
(Px-y) or all ports (PALL).
The Admin user is preconfigured in the user database with all access rights.
To manage a user’s access rights:
1. To confi gure a user’s access rights, issue a User Add command.
USER ADD <
username
> ACCESS=<
access
>
2. To change a user’s access rights, issue a User Set command.
USER SET <
username
> ACCESS=<
access
>
This command offers a choice of formats: you may specify the user’s entire set of
access rights or you may selectively add or delete access rights to a user’s current
defi nition. The last two formats enable you to change a user’s access rights
defi nition without having to type the entire access mask; you specify only the
access rights you want to add or remove.
3. To display a user’s access rights, issue a Show User command.
SHOW USER <
username
>

4.5 Using Authentication Modes
The SCPS supports several methods for authenticating users: local, RADIUS and
none. By default, authentication is done at the local SCPS user database.
Local authentication
Local authentication uses the local SCPS user database to authenticate users. You
may optionally specify both local and RADIUS authentication, in either order. In
this case, authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If
that fails, the second method will be used for authentication.
