Preface
as the “root” or “admin” has a choice to abort the session or close the other user’s
session.
If there are cron jobs running through automated scripts, a “root” or “admin” user login can
cause the automated cron jobs to fail. Make sure that the users with administrative privileges
are aware of this.
2. CLI has 3 possible user levels:
•
Root user (Linux root user) - Has access to the full functionality of the CLI. Has
‘shell’ command in the CLI that allows the user to have access to the ACS Linux
shell prompt. (See note below)
•
Admin - Has access to the full functionality of the CLI except for the ‘shell’
command. So an admin user will not be able to have access to the ACS Linux shell
prompt. (See note below)
•
Regular user - Has access to a limited functionality of the CLI. Only has access to
cli->applications
functionality.
NOTE:
Users can change the login shell in /etc/passwd to execute /bin/CLI so that they will
get the CLI right away when they log into the ACS. If user, root, is configured to have /bin/CLI
as their default shell, he/she can still have access to the ACS shell prompt by executing the
command ‘shell’ from the CLI. Any other users who configured /bin/CLI as their default shell
won’t have the ‘shell’ command so they won’t be able to have access to the ACS shell prompt.
3. The CLI will generate syslog messages when the user open or close a session and
for each command executed. Examples:
Apr 19 17:51:44 src_dev_log@swes-129 CLI[413]: User root starts a
interactive CLI session.

closed due idletimeout
Apr 19 17:54:23 src_dev_log@swes-129 CLI[413]: User root executed [quit]
Apr 19 17:54:23 src_dev_log@swes-129 CLI[413]: User root finishes the CLI
session
4. The CLI will write every command executed in interactive mode in the file
" ~/.history ". This file will keep the last 1000 commands executed in any CLI
session.
